Cleaning
Caution Always disconnect the AC power cable before cleaning or servicing the chassis.
Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the chassis
and cleaning the fan filters. Refer to the module user documentation for
information on cleaning individual CompactPCI, SCXI, or PXI modules.

Interior Cleaning

Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the chassis.
Use a soft-bristle brush for cleaning around components.

Exterior Cleaning

Cautions Avoid getting water inside the chassis during exterior cleaning, especially
through the top vents. Use just enough water to dampen the cloth.
Do not wash the front- or rear-panel connectors or switches. Cover these components while
cleaning the chassis.
Do not use harsh chemical cleaning agents; they can damage the chassis. Avoid chemicals
that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a
soft-bristle brush. If any dirt remains, wipe with a cloth moistened with
am ild cleaning agent. Remove any soap residue by wiping with a cloth
moistened with clear water. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of
the chassis.
