Inspection and Cleaning

The mainframe is inspected mechanically and electrically before shipment. It should be free of marks or scratches and should meet or exceed all electrical specifications. Inspect the mainframe for physical damage incurred during transit. Retain the mainframe packaging in case shipment for repair is necessary. If there is damage or deficiency, contact your local Tektronix representative.

Cleaning procedures consist of exterior and interior cleaning of the mainframe and cleaning the fan filter. Periodic cleaning reduces instrument breakdown and increases reliability. Clean the mainframe as needed, based on the operating environment. Refer to your module user documentation for information on cleaning the individual VXIbus modules.

Interior Cleaning Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the mainframe. Use a soft-bristle brush for cleaning around components. If you must use a liquid for minor interior cleaning, use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and rinse with deionized water.

Exterior Cleaning Clean the exterior surfaces of the mainframe with a dry lint-free cloth or

a soft-bristle brush. If any dirt remains, use a cloth or swab dipped in a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution. Use a swab to clean narrow spaces around controls and connectors. Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the mainframe.
