Magma P13R User Manual

Like all computer systems, you will need to perform some routine 
maintenance tasks. Some of these include making sure that the air 
vents in the chassis are clear of obstructions and that the cooling air 
from the fans flows freely. You will also need to check the foam filter 
behind the front panel to ensure it is clean, thus allowing for unrestricted 
air flow to the fans. You should always keep an eye on all cables to 
make sure they are not damaged and are securely connected. 
Occasionally, you should remove the chassis cover and check for loose 
cards, and remove any dust build-up.  

 

Always to remember to power down your computer and then the 
expansion system BEFORE you attempt to perform any maintenance 
tasks. 

The environment where your Magma chassis is operating is a key 
element to how often you will need to perform a general cleaning of your 
Magma Expansion chassis. To perform a routine general cleaning of 
your chassis, you will need the following: 

1.  Can of compressed air (proper distance, 6 inches) 

2. Cotton 

Swabs 

3. Isopropyl 

(alcohol) 

4. Anti 

static 

wipes 

5.  Warm water (for filter) 

6.  Dish soap (for filter) 

 

 

Do not use a vacuum because vacuums create ESD. 

First, remove the four cover screws with your Phillips screwdriver and 
open the cover.
