4. Take care not to let fluid pool around connection pins. If this should happen, blot
dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
5. Do not use excessive drying techniques, such as oven, forced heat or sun drying.
Internal components
1. Verify the ATS is turned off and unplugged.
2. Disconnect all cords/cables from the ATS.
3. Remove the access panels on the ATS. Using a compressed air duster
recommended for computers and electronics, carefully blow out any accumulated
dust.
Component level disassembly/reassembly information is located in the parts section
of the manual. See Disassembly/assembly on page 7-3.
Fans and filters
Remove all of the dust from the fans and the fan intakes. The fans and fan intakes
usually accumulate the most dust. Accumulated dust can clog the fans and fan intakes
and prevent proper cooling.
The ATS is equipped with two fan filters at the front of the chassis. These filters
reduce the amount of dust and cooling air in the interior of the unit.
Fan and drive filters should be replaced regularly. See Fan filter on page 7-5 and
Drive filter on page 7-6.
NOTE
How often you need to replace the filters varies, depending on the environmental
factors of the ATS’s implementation. Alternatively, you can use compressed air
to clean the filters.
Controlling electrostatic discharge damage
All external connector inputs and outputs of the device are designed with protection
from electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. However, if the interior of the device
needs to be accessed for any reason, internal components and assemblies are
susceptible to ESD damage. This includes human hands, non-ESD protected work
stations and/or improperly grounded test equipment.
The following guidelines help make a service workstation more resistant to the ESD
damage:
 Discharge any static charge you may have built up before handling
semiconductors or assemblies containing semiconductors. This can be done by
touching any bare metal on the ATS chassis, or cable connector jacks on the back
of the unit. Do this frequently and repeatedly while working on the unit.
 Wear a grounded, antistatic wristband (3M part number 2046 or equivalent) or
heel strap at all times while handling or repairing assemblies containing
semiconductors.
 Use properly grounded test equipment.
