Maintenance
This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform
on the PXI-1025 MegaPAC chassis.
Service Interval
Clean the chassis fan filter at a maximum interval of six months.
Depending on the amount of use and ambient dust levels in the operating
environment, the filter may require more frequent cleaning.
Clean dust from the chassis exterior (and interior) as needed, based on
the operating environment. Periodic cleaning increases reliability.
Preparation
The information in this section is designed for use by qualified service
personnel. Read the
section at the beginning of this manual
before attempting any procedures in this chapter.
Caution
Many components within the chassis are susceptible to static discharge damage.
Service the chassis only in a static-free environment. Observe standard handling
precautions for static-sensitive devices while servicing the chassis. Always wear
a grounded wrist strap, or equivalent, while servicing the chassis.
Cleaning
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis
and cleaning the fan filter. Refer to your module user documentation for
information on cleaning the individual CompactPCI or PXI modules.
Caution
Always power-off the chassis and disconnect the power cord before cleaning or
servicing the chassis.
