To keep the Serial Communications Board in optimum condition, regular inspec- tions must be performed. Normally, inspect the devices once every six months or every year. Inspect the devices at more regular intervals when they are being used in environments subject to high temperatures, high humidity, or high dust levels.

Materials for Inspection Prepare the following materials before performing any inspections.

Materials Required Daily

For daily inspection, a Phillips screwdriver, flat-blade screwdriver, tester (or digi- tal voltmeter), industrial strength alcohol, and all-cotton cloth are required.

Materials Required Occasionally

For some inspections, a synchroscope, a pen oscilloscope, a temperature gauge, and a hygrometer will be required.
