2. Fan
MVS-8000X/MVS-7000X is air-cooled by the fans (on both
sides). If dust has accumulated in the intake of the fan, air is
prevented from fl owing smoothly and this may result in a
temperature rise inside the machine. This may have an
adverse effect on performance and the life of the machine.
Cleaning of the fan every month is recommended. Contact
your local Sony Sales Offi ce/Service Center for informa-
tion on cleaning the fan.

2-3. About the Data Backup Capacitor
A large capacitor is installed on the CA-82 board (MVS-
8000X) or the CA-82A board (MVS-7000X) in order to
retain the data such as the data used with resume mode,
snapshots, and effects in the MVS-8000X/MVS-7000X
series machine.
Leave the main power of the MVS-8000X/MVS-7000X
series turned on for two hours or longer in order to charge
this capacitor. The data is retained for about three days
when the capacitor is fully charged under normal operating
temperature and humidity. However, this period may vary
depending on the storage environment. Be sure to save
necessary data in an external media.
