Chapter
This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on
the VXI-1500 mainframe.
Service Interval
Clean the mainframe fan filter at a maximum interval of six months.
Depending upon the amount of use and ambient dust levels in the
operating environment, the filters may require more frequent cleaning.
Clean dust from the mainframe exterior (and interior) as needed, based
on the operating environment. Periodic cleaning reduces instrument
breakdown and increases reliability.
Preparation
The information in this section is designed for use by qualified service
personnel. Read the For Your Safety section at the beginning of this
manual before attempting any procedures in this chapter.
Caution:
Many components within the mainframe are susceptible to static
discharge damage. Service the mainframe only in a static-free
environment. Observe standard handling precautions for static-sensitive
devices while servicing the mainframe. Always wear a grounded wrist
strap, or equivalent, while servicing the mainframe.
