NOTE. Always power down the mainframe and disconnect the power cord before
cleaning or servicing the mainframe.
Inspection and Cleaning
The mainframe is inspected mechanically and electrically before shipment. It
should be free of marks or scratches and should meet or exceed all electrical
specifications. Inspect the mainframe for physical damage incurred during
transit. Retain the mainframe packaging in case shipment for repair is necessary.
If there is damage or deficiency, contact your local Tektronix representative.
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the mainframe
and cleaning the fan filter. Periodic cleaning reduces instrument breakdown and
increases reliability. Clean the mainframe as needed, based on the operating
environment. Refer to your module user documentation for information on
cleaning the individual VXIbus modules.
Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the mainframe. Use a
soft-bristle brush for cleaning around components. If you must use a liquid for
minor interior cleaning, use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and rinse with
deionized water.
Clean the exterior surfaces of the mainframe with a dry lint-free cloth or
a soft-bristle brush. If any dirt remains, use a cloth or swab dipped in a 75%
isopropyl alcohol solution. Use a swab to clean narrow spaces around controls
and connectors. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the mainframe.
