General Cleaning Safety Precautions

1 Never use solvents or flammable solutions to clean the workstation.
2 Never immerse any parts in water or cleaning solutions; apply any liquids to a clean cloth and then use the cloth
on the component.
3 Always unplug the workstation when cleaning with liquids or damp cloths.
4 Always unplug the workstation before cleaning the keyboard, mouse, or air vents.
5 Disconnect the keyboard before cleaning it.
6 Wear safety glasses equipped with side shields when cleaning the keyboard.

Maximizing the Airflow

Keep your workstation in an area where the airflow to the front and rear of the system is not obstructed.
If possible, keep the unit off of surfaces where dust can gather.
Keep the back of the unit at least 6 inches away from a wall or other obstruction.
Keep the front of the unit clear of any obstruction that keeps air from entering the front of the system.
Remove any dust on the front panel (vent area) and the rear fans with a small vacuum, compressed
air, dust rag.

Cleaning the Workstation Case

Follow previously stated safety precautions before cleaning the workstation.
To clean the workstation case:
To remove light stains or dirt, use plain water with a clean, lint-free cloth or swab.
For stronger stains, use a mild dish-washing liquid diluted with water. Rinse well by wiping it with a cloth or swab
dampened with clear water.
For stubborn stains, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. No rinsing is needed as the alcohol will evaporate quickly
and not leave a residue.
After cleaning, always wipe the unit with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Occasionally clean the air vents on the workstation. Lint and other foreign matter can block the vents and limit
the airflow.
