Cleaning The Server - Fujitsu PRIMERGY RX200 S4 User Manual

Cleaning the server

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stains that do not come off with a dry cloth, wipe with a cloth lightly
dampened with a mild detergent. Once the stain has been removed, wipe off any remaining detergent
with a cloth dampened with water. When wiping the server, be sure that no moisture enters the server.
Do not use solvents. Use a mild detergent only. Otherwise, the server may be damaged. Use a vacuum
cleaner periodically to prevent dust buildup in ventilation holes.
In dusty environments, dust accumulates up on the front and rear panels of the server over short
periods. Install the server in a different location to avoid failures.
Cleaning the server interior
In dusty environments, dust accumulates on the server. Dust deposits may cause a server failure, fire, or
electric shock. To keep the PRIMERGY server in good condition, use a vacuum cleaner periodically to
remove dust deposits.
Cleaning components
CPUs: Dust deposits must be removed because they will impair the cooling performance.
Fans: Remove dust from and around the fans.
Memory/expansion cards: Remove dust between memory modules and between expansion cards.
Remove dust from the connector before adding a memory module or an expansion card.
Internal hard disk units/internal options: Remove dust deposits from units and devices. Tape devices
are particularly susceptible to dust and may cause failures. Install them in a clean environment.
Be careful when removing components such as CPUs, memory modules, or hard disk units. Be sure to
install parts and cables in the original position.
Leaving brushed off or blown off dust in the server can cause a failure. Be sure to remove it
completely.
Optional devices
For cleaning optional devices, refer to the manual for each device.
• Do not disassemble the PSU when cleaning the server interior. Doing so may
cause failures or electric shock.
