Hardware Maintenance (9820-45M) Cleaning the Front Panel Assembly The substantial airflow through the unit’s four fans may cause dust to collect on the outside of the front air vents. When dust becomes visible at the air vents, run the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner gently over the front panel to remove In extremely dusty environments it may be necessary to remove the front panel assembly to clean the blades of the fans.
5. Replace the front panel and tighten the captive screws. Verify that the FAN LED is turned off. CAUTION: Do not leave the front panel assembly off the unit for extended periods, or the unit will overheat. 9820-A2-GB20-20 Hardware Maintenance (9820-45M) June 2000 12-3...
Hardware Maintenance (9820-45M) Replacing a Power Module A power module requires replacement in a FrameSaver SLV 9820-45M when: The front panel System PWR LED is lit. This means that one of the power modules has failed. Power is applied to a power module and it is switched on, but the power module LED does not light.
