CAUTION. To avoid damaging the instrument, avoid getting moisture inside the
mainframe during exterior cleaning; use just enough moisture to dampen the
cloth or swab.
Do not wash the front-panel On/Standby switch. Cover the switch while washing
the mainframe.
Use only deionized water when cleaning. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution
as a cleanser and rinse with deionized water.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the mainframe. Avoid
chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
The fan/blower filters are easily removed from the rear of the mainframe. The
filters slide out of the rear of the mainframe as shown in Figure 8–1.

Clean the fan/blower filters by vacuuming or blowing air through the filter.
Rinse the filter in cool water and dry it before replacing it in the mainframe.
You can reset the filter cleaning interval with the VXIplug&plug soft front panel
or by sending the STATus: QUEStionable: FILTer:TRESet command. If your
mainframe has the front panel display (Option 1M), you can also reset the filter
cleaning interval by scrolling to the air filter cleaning time and simultaneously
pressing both the NEXT and PREV buttons.
