HP xw4600 - Cleaning the workstation case; Cleaning the keyboard

Cleaning the workstation case
●
Follow the service consideration (
Service considerations on page 53) presented before cleaning
the workstation.
●
To remove light stains or dirt, use plain water with a clean, lint-free cloth or swab.
●
For stronger stains, use a mild dish washing liquid diluted with water. Rinse well by wiping it with
a cloth or swab dampened with clear water.
●
For stubborn stains, use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. No rinsing is required because the alcohol
evaporates quickly and does not leave a residue.
●
After cleaning, always wipe the workstation with a clean, lint-free cloth.
●
Occasionally, clean the air vents on the workstation. Lint and other foreign matter can block the
vents and limit the airflow.
Cleaning the keyboard
CAUTION: Use safety glasses equipped with side shields before attempting to clean debris from under
the keys.
●
Follow the safety precautions presented in
Service considerations on page 53 before cleaning the
keyboard.
●
Visible debris underneath or between the keys can be removed by vacuuming or shaking.
●
Canned, pressurized air can be used to clean debris from under the keys. Use caution because
too much air pressure can dislodge lubricants applied under the wide keys.
●
If you remove a key, use a specially designed key remover to prevent damage to the keys. This
tool is available from many electronic supply outlets.
CAUTION: Never remove a wide key (like the space bar key) from the keyboard. If these keys
are improperly removed or installed, the keyboard might not function properly.
●
Clean under a key with a swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol and squeezed out. Be careful not
to wipe away lubricants necessary for proper key functions. Allow the parts to air dry before
reassembly.
●
Use tweezers to remove any fibers or dirt in confined areas.
Cleaning the monitor
●
Follow the safety precautions presented in
Service considerations on page 53 before cleaning the
monitor.
●
To clean the monitor, wipe the monitor screen with a towelette designed for cleaning monitors or
a clean cloth moistened with water.
CAUTION: Do not use sprays or aerosols directly on the screen—the liquid might seep into the
housing and damage a component.
Never use solvents or flammable liquids on the monitor because display or housing damage may
result.
