Chapter 6 Chassis Maintenance
Like all computer systems, you will need to perform some routine maintenance tasks. Some of these include making sure that the air vents in the chassis are clear of obstructions and that the cooling air from the fans flows freely. You will also need to check the foam filter behind the front panel to ensure it is clean, thus allowing for unrestricted air flow to the fans. You should always keep an eye on all cables to make sure they are not damaged and are securely connected. Occasionally, you should remove the chassis cover and check for loose cards, and remove any dust
Always remember to power down your computer and the expansion system BEFORE you attempt to perform any maintenance tasks.
General Chassis Cleaning

1.Can of compressed air (proper distance, 6 inches)
2.Cotton Swabs
3.Isopropyl (alcohol)
4.Anti static wipes
5.Warm water (for filter)
6.Dish soap (for filter)
Do not use a vacuum because vacuums create ESD.
First, remove the four cover screws with and the top chassis cover:
