Chapter 5
Like all computer systems, you will need to perform some routine
maintenance tasks. Some of these include making sure that the air
vents in the chassis are clear of obstructions and that the cooling air
from the fans flows freely. You should always keep an eye on all cables
to make sure they are not damaged and are securely connected.
Occasionally, you should open the chassis and slide the carriage out to
check for loose cards, and remove any dust build-up.
Always remember to power down your computer and then the
expansion system BEFORE you attempt to perform any maintenance
tasks.
