Caring for your server
Cleaning tips
Always turn off your server and other peripheral devices before cleaning any
components.
Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean your server and other parts of your server system.
Do not use abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage the finish on
components.
Keep the cooling vents free of dust. With your server turned off and unplugged, brush
the dust away from the vents with a damp cloth, but be careful not to drip any water
into the vents.
Cleaning the keyboard
You should clean the keyboard occasionally by using an aerosol can of air with a narrow,
straw-like extension to remove dust and lint trapped under the keys.
If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off your server and turn the keyboard upside down
to let the liquid drain. Let the keyboard dry completely before trying to use it again. If
the keyboard does not work after it dries, you may need to replace it. Keyboard damage
resulting from spilled liquids is not covered by your warranty.
Cleaning the screen
If your computer screen is a flat panel display, use only a damp, soft cloth to clean it.
Never spray water directly onto the screen.
- OR -
If your computer screen is not a flat panel display, use a soft cloth dampened with glass
cleaner to clean the screen. Never spray cleaner directly onto the screen.
Cleaning the tape drive
If you use a tape drive to back up your files, regular maintenance will lengthen the life
of the drive. To maintain the drive’s reliability:
Clean the drive monthly with the cleaning cartridge included with the drive.
Remove the tape from the drive whenever the drive is not in use.
Warning
When you shut down your server, the power turns off, but some
electrical current still flows through your server. To avoid possible
injury from electrical shock, unplug the power cords and all other
cables connected to the server.
Caution
The computer screen is made of specially coated glass and can be
scratched or damaged by abrasive or ammonia-based glass cleaners.
