5 MAINTENANCE
Although no Routine Maintenance is required on the Blade, it is generally good practice to
clean the inside of the equipment on each occasion that it is necessary to open it.
Dust and or light debris may accumulate in the following areas:
• Fans
• Heatsinks
• Vents
Use a fine bristle brush to remove all dust/debris from these areas, taking care not to
damage the equipment.
5.1 TORQUE SETTINGS
The torque range to be used on tightening Torx screws and self-tapping screws on the
Blade and SRM sub-assemblies is 8-10Lb/in (0.90-1.13 Nm).
For all other small screws (Phillips/pozi head) use a maximum of 8 Lb/in (0.90Nm).
5.2 DISASSEMBLY
When disassembling any part of the Blade take care to note where parts belong.
5.2.1 To Remove the Blade from a Rack
When also fitted with associated PSUTRAY and shelf supports:
1. Switch off at mains.

3. Disconnect and remove the PSUTRAY.
4. Undo the four screws securing the Blade Ears to the rack.
5. If the Blade is to be removed entirely, then disconnect all cables from the rear of the
equipment.
6. The Blade can now be lifted away from the shelf supports.
