Cleaning The Server - Fujitsu 1PRIMERGY RX600 S4 User Manual

Cleaning the server

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For difficult stains, 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 liquid enters the server.
Do not use solvents. Use mild detergents only. Otherwise, the server may be damaged.
Vacuum the server periodically to avoid dust accumulation in ventilation holes.
In dusty environments, dust accumulates on both of the front and rear panels of the server even in a
short period. Install the server in a different location to avoid failures.
Cleaning interior of the server
In dusty environments, dust accumulates inside of the server. Dust deposits may cause a server failure,
fire, or electric shock. To keep the PRIMERGY server in good condition, vacuum the interior of the
server periodically to remove dust deposits.
