is that option on the HP Server; otherwise, power off the HP

 

 

Server before cleaning.

Monitor screen

Regularly

Use HP Video Screen Cleaner or other appropriate monitor

 

 

screen cleaner.

Mouse

Regularly

The ring surrounding the trackball on the bottom of the

 

 

mouse opens and closes. Remove the ring and keep the

 

 

trackball free of dirt. Do not use solvent to clean. Use a

 

 

damp, lint-free cloth.

Tape drive heads

Monthly

Use the recommended cleaning method noted in the device’s

 

 

manual.

Cooling fans and grilles

6 Months

Check functions of cooling fans and clean the intake

 

 

openings on the chassis. Be sure to power off and unplug the

 

 

HP Server before cleaning. Use an industrial static-free

 

 

vacuum cleaner to remove the dust and lint.

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 drive heads, capstans, and guides on the HP tape drive units and those products using high-density data cartridges and mini-data cartridges. This maintenance procedure prolongs tape and head life and helps reduce read/write errors due to dust and oxide. Call the HP Customer Support Center or check HP’s Storage website for further information for preventative maintenance information on the HP tape drive.
