104 Cleaning the Server
Cleaning the keyboard
You should clean the keyboard occasionally to free it of dust and lint particles
trapped under the keys. The easiest way to do this is to blow trapped dirt from
under the keys using an aerosol can of air with a narrow, straw-like extension.
If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off the server, then disconnect the
keyboard. Turn the keyboard upside down to let the liquid drain. Let the
keyboard dry for a few days before trying to use it again. If the keyboard does
not work after it is dry, you may need a new one.
Cleaning the monitor screen
Use a soft cloth and window cleaner to clean the monitor screen. Squirt a
little cleaner on the cloth (never directly on the screen), then wipe the screen
with the cloth.
Cleaning the server and monitor
cases
Always turn off the server and other peripherals before cleaning any
components.
Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean the server case, monitor case, keyboard,
speakers, and other parts of the server. Avoid abrasive or solvent cleaners
because they can damage the finish on your components.
Your server is cooled by air drawn in through the vents on the chassis and
blown out through the power supply exhaust fan. Keep vents on the front
and back of the chassis free of dust. With the server turned off and unplugged,
brush the dust away from the vents with a slightly damp cloth. Be careful
not to drip any water into the vents. Do not attempt to clean dust from the
inside the server.
Caution When you clean the system, turn off the server, monitor,
and peripherals, then unplug the power cords and modem
cord (if installed). Be careful not to drip liquid into the
server, monitor, andperipherals when cleaning the system.
