Maintenance

This chapter describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on
the NI PXIe-1075 chassis.
Caution Disconnect the power cable prior to servicing a NI PXIe-1075 chassis.

Service Interval

Clean the chassis fan filters at a maximum interval of six months.
Depending on the amount of use and ambient dust levels in the operating
environment, the filters may require more frequent cleaning.
Clean dust from the chassis exterior (and interior) as needed, based on the
operating environment. Periodic cleaning increases reliability and cooling
performance.

Preparation

The information in this section is designed for use by qualified service
personnel. Read the Read Me First: Safety and Radio-Frequency
Interference document included with your kit before attempting any
procedures in this chapter.
Caution Many components within the chassis are susceptible to static discharge damage.
Service the chassis only in a static-free environment. Observe standard handling
precautions for static-sensitive devices while servicing the chassis. Always wear a
grounded wrist strap or equivalent while servicing the chassis.

Cleaning

Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis
and cleaning the fan filters. Refer to your module user documentation for
information on cleaning the individual CompactPCI or PXI Express
modules.
