Cleaning the System
Warning: Do not insert any metal object, such as a screwdriver, or place your hand into an open slot or the backplane when the E-series router is on. Remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches) before working on equipment that is connected to power lines. These actions prevent electric shock and serious burns.![]()
Caution: When cleaning the system, wear an antistatic wrist strap connected to the system's ESD grounding jack. This action helps to protect modules from damage by electrostatic discharge.![]()
Dust is attracted to the side of the system on which the air intake vent is situated. Clean this side of the system with a dry cloth every few weeks to prevent excessive accumulation of dust. This cleaning will maintain the efficiency of the cooling system and prevent damage to electronic components.
