Preventive Maintenance Procedures
Refer to the following table for preventive maintenance procedures used for the HP Server tc2120. Be sure to
turn off power to the server when cleaning it.
Component
Keyboard
Monitor screen
Mouse
Tape drive heads
Cooling fans and
grilles
CAUTION
Do NOT use petroleum-based cleaners (such as lighter fluid or cleaners containing
benzene, trichlorethylene, ammonia, dilute ammonia, or acetone. These chemicals could
damage the keyboard's plastic surfaces).
HP recommends the periodic cleaning of tape heads, capstans, and guides on HP tape drive units and those
products using high-density data cartridges and mini-data cartridges. These maintenance procedures prolong
tape and head life and helps reduce read/write errors due to dust and oxide.
Troubleshooting
WARNING
Before removing a cover, always disconnect the AC power cords. Disconnect them to
avoid exposure to high energy levels that may cause burns when parts are short-circuited
by metal objects such as tools or jewelry. Disconnect the telephone cables to avoid
exposure to shock hazard from the telephone ringing voltages.
WARNING
Do NOT operate the HP Server for more than 10 minutes with any cover (including
power supplies and disk drives) removed. Otherwise, damage to system components may
result due to improper cooling airflow. However, you can safely remove a cover while
the HP Server is running to remove and replace PCI hot-plug boards. For any other
service activity requiring access to the system board or power distribution board, power
down the HP Server and observe all safety precautions.
For problems with the disk array controller board, refer to the appropriate HP NetRAID manual.
For problems with the HP Instant Toptools, refer to the HP Instant Toptools Administrator Guide on the HP
website at:
