Cleaning
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis. Refer to your
module user documentation for information on cleaning the individual CompactPCI or
PXI Express modules.
Caution
Always
disconnect all power cables 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.
Caution
Avoid getting moisture inside the chassis during exterior cleaning,
especially through the top vents. Use just enough moisture to dampen the cloth.
Caution
Do
not
wash the front- or rear-panel connectors or switches. Cover these
components while cleaning the chassis.
Caution
Do
not
use harsh chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the chassis.
Avoid chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
Replacing a Modular Power Supply
This section describes how to remove and install a modular power supply for the NI PXIe-1086
chassis.
Caution
Do not use a power supply from another chassis. Doing so may damage
your chassis and the power supply.
Removal
The NI PXIe-1086 power supply (part number 782106-01) is a replacement part for the
NI PXIe-1086 chassis. Before attempting to replace a power supply, verify that there is adequate
clearance behind the chassis.
The power supplies for this chassis are redundant and hot swappable. If both power supplies are
installed and functional, you can remove either without disconnecting main AC power from the
system. If both power supplies are installed, and one has failed, you can remove the failed supply
without disconnecting main AC power from the system.
