Preventative Maintenance

Very little preventative maintenance is required for the DACS. The following sections provide

preventative maintenance information.

Filter Cleaning

Once each month (or more often if dust build up occurs) inspect the fan ﬁlters for excessive dust

and dirt. Filters should be kept clean to help prevent heat buildup within the DACS.

• To clean the ﬁlters:

• Power down the DACS.

• Remove all fan covers.

• Remove foam ﬁlters and wash with a mild detergent and rinse. (In some cases vacuuming

the ﬁlter may also be sufﬁcient.)

Thoroughly dry and replace ﬁlters.

Software Backup

As with any computer system, it is recommended that you back up your DACS Model Processor

hard disk on a regular basis. Your DOS operating system provides a convenient backup utility for

backing up ﬁles. Consult the DOS documentation supplied with the system for more information.

Commercial backup utilities can also be purchased for use with the DACS.

If the size of your backup becomes large, such as in the case where large record/replay ﬁles are

created, it is recommended that a commercial tape back up system be used to back up your Model

Processor hard disk.

Consumables

ASTi equipment uses no consumables.
