pickering
Interior Cleaning
Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the chassis interior, then use a soft-bristle brush to clean the components.
If you want to use a liquid cleaning agent, use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and rinse with deionized water.
Exterior Cleaning
Use a dry lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush to clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis. If there is any dirt, wipe
with a cloth moistened in a mild soap solution, then wipe with a cloth moistened with clean water to remove the soap
residue. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents on any part of the chassis.
Cleaning the Fan Filters
Remove the fan filters from the bottom of the chassis. Clean the filters by washing them in a mild soap solution and
rinse with clean water and allow to dry before reinstalling them back to the chassis. Alternatively, clean the filters by
vacuuming or blowing air through them.
CAUTION
AVOID GETTING MOISTURE INSIDE THE CHASSIS DURING EXTERIOR CLEANING. DO NOT USE TOO
MUCH MOISTURE TO DAMPEN CLEANING CLOTHS.
DO NOT WASH THE FRONT-OR-REAR PANEL CONNECTORS OR SWITCHES. WHILE CLEANING THE
CHASSIS, PLEASE COVER THESE COMPONENTS.
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL CLEANING AGENTS THAT CONTAIN BENZENE, TOLUENE, XYLENE, ACETONE,
OR SIMILAR SOLVENTS. THESE CLEANING AGENTS MAY DAMAGE THE COMPONENTS.
