Cleaning
External casing and the front panel should be carefully wiped with a soft cloth and antistatic solution.
Air filters
User-serviceable air filters are located behind the server’s front panel fascia. It is important to remove and clean or replace the filters periodically to avoid overheating. Servers are supplied with one pair of spare filters, others can be supplied by 7thSense. Servers should not be run without filters, since accumulations of dust inside the server can affect performance.
Before removing any filter, power the server down. This will avoid disturbing dust, which can then be drawn back into the server. |
On R-Series servers, two small cross-head screws retain the plastic fascia panel, to the bottom left and right. Locate and remove these before attempting to remove the fascia.
After removing the two screws, pull the fascia forwards and straight off the unit. It is retained by four push-fit fasteners. If the fascia sides are inaccessible, plastic hooks are provided to pull the fascia off (see Installation ).
The two filter pads can be lifted out for cleaning or replacement. One side has a cutout for the power switch.
P-Series 6
Ease the fascia away carefully from both sides, or if rack-mounted, by using the removal hook.
The two filter pads can be lifted out for cleaning or replacement. One side has a cutout for the power switch.
Internal maintenance
There are no internal user-serviceable electrical parts.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
When handling electronic assemblies, take precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) causing damage. Precautions should include the wearing of an ESD protective wrist strap and using antistatic bags for electronic assemblies when not installed in any equipment.
Warning: Do not operate the server with any covers removed as the air flow through the unit will be compromised and may lead to overheating. The lid of the server forms an integral part of the cooling circuit. Operation of the unit with the lid removed can cause overheating.
Any alterations to the product’s specification, e.g. additional/alternative components, may invalidate the warranty or impact the unit’s performance. Additionally, such changes or modifications could cause equipment no longer to comply with the relevant EMC regulations, and void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. If in doubt, please contact your supplier.
