Cleaning Inside the Solar 9500 CPU

Revision A
Maintenance: Cleaning
The Solar 9500 CPU uses a forced-air cooling system that draws air
through the unit. As a result there can be a buildup of lint and other
debris inside the unit. Accumulations of lint and debris can lead to
thermal failures or short-circuit failures if not removed regularly.
It is recommended that the inside of the Solar 9500 should be cleaned
every 12 months.
To clean the inside of the Solar 9500, follow this procedure:
1. Power down the Solar 9500 (according to the procedure outlined in
chapter 3, Installation) and disconnect the monitor from the power
source and the network.
2. Remove the front and rear covers from the device.
3. Loosen the two screws holding the power supply in place and swing
the power supply down to expose the interior of the device.
4. Using a source of clean, dry compressed air blow all lint and debris
from between the circuit boards and the other assemblies.

Do not use a vacuum device unless suitable static-control
procedures are followed. Many vacuum systems generate
appreciable static electricity which could damage
semiconductor circuits in the monitor.
5. Make sure all circuit boards are seated firmly. Make sure all cables
are connected.
6. Re-assemble the Solar 9500.
7. Perform leakage tests.
8. Connect the Solar 9500 to the network and to the power source.
9. Apply power to the Solar 9500 and verify operation.
