require more frequent cleaning. Use the Preventive
Timetable Worksheets provided to record the schedule.

General customer preventive maintenance guidelines
are as follows:

Central Processor Unit (CPU)

Clean CPUs on a regular basis to prevent heat build-up
due to dust on electronic components. Use a high
quality cleaner prescribed for computer equipment.

Disk Drives

Check the preventive maintenance procedures listed in
the documentation that came with your disk drive.

Tape Drives

Clean the magnetic tape path at regular intervals to
remove oxide build-up, especially on the read/write
head. Use only the prescribed cleaning fluids to clean
the tape path. Improper use of non-prescribed cleaners
can leave residue that can increase tape read/write
errors and damage the tape drive and tapes.

Use only high quality tapes. Use of poor quality tapes
can lead to loss of data and damage to the tape drive.

Plotters

Clean plotters on a regular basis. Check the preventive
maintenance procedures listed in the documentation
that came with your plotter.
