Maintenance
Cleaning
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis. Refer to your
module user documentation for information about cleaning the individual CompactPCI or
PXI Express modules.
Caution
Always
disconnect the AC power cable before cleaning or servicing the
chassis.
Interior Cleaning
Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the chassis. Use a soft-bristle brush
for cleaning around components.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush. If any
dirt remains, wipe with a cloth moistened in a mild soap solution. Remove any soap residue by
wiping with a cloth moistened with clear water. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of
the chassis.
Cautions
Avoid getting moisture inside the chassis during exterior cleaning,
especially through the top vents. Use just enough moisture to dampen the cloth.
Do
not
wash the front- or rear-panel connectors or switches. Cover these components
while cleaning the chassis.
Do
not
use harsh chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the chassis. Avoid
chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
