Maintenance
This section describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on the PXIe-1090
chassis.
Caution
Disconnect the power cable prior to servicing your PXIe-1090 chassis.
Service Interval
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
Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility
document included with your kit
before attempting any procedures in this section.
Note
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
nonremoveable mesh fan grates. Refer to your module's user documentation for information
about cleaning individual CompactPCI or PXI Express modules.
Caution
Always disconnect the power cable prior to servicing the chassis.
Interior Cleaning
Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the chassis. Use a soft-bristle
brush for cleaning around components.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry, lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush. If
any dirt remains, wipe with a cloth moistened in a mild soap solution. Remove any soap
residue by wiping with a cloth moistened with clear water. Do not use abrasive compounds on
any part of the chassis.
Caution
Avoid getting moisture inside the chassis during exterior cleaning. Use
just enough moisture to dampen the cloth.
Do not wash the front- or rear-panel connectors or switches. Cover these
components while cleaning the chassis.
