4Remove any debris that has accumulated in and around the computer ports (for example, the Ethernet and USB ports).

Cleaning fans, heat sink, and inside the HP Firebird

If your computer is air-cooled, critical components inside your system are cooled by fans. The heat sink absorbs and dissipates heat. When dust builds up on the fans and heat sink, it creates a blanket effect, causing components to overheat, leading to poor system performance, automatic shutdown, or early part failure.

1Ensure the HP Firebird is off and unplugged.

2Remove the left side cover; see “Opening the HP Firebird.”

3Open the door to the optical drive and the hard drives by pressing the two latches at the same time.

4Blow compressed air to remove dust from the fan on the left of the disk drive area (the fan is visible only when the drives are removed).

5Remove the fan tray by pressing the two latches and blow the dust through the radiators, from the inside out.

6Blow off the dust from all other fans.

7Vacuum all bottom surfaces on the computer inside.

8Close the door to the ODD/HDD.

9Replace the fan tray.

10Replace the left side cover on its hinges and close the cover.

Cleaning the keyboard and mouse

When cleaning the keyboard keys, use a low setting on the battery-operated vacuum cleaner, to avoid removing key caps and springs.

1Vacuum between the keys of the keyboard and along the grooves.

2Use a clean, dry cloth and isopropyl alcohol to clean buildup on the keyboard keys and along the keyboard edges.

3Wipe the body of the mouse and the mouse cord with cleaning wipes or a cloth and cleanser.
