Hi,
Does anyone have experience with removing dust from core memory stacks? I recently acquired an 11/35 (the BA11-FC 21" chassis) and it is loaded with dust. I cleaned the H742 power supply thoroughlt with compressed air and some Windex (for the plexiglass covers and the enclosure.)
I imagine that I can clean the rest of the chassis in a similar manner, but I am worried about the compressed air messing up the core stacks. I suppose I could regulate the pressure down to about 15-20PSI. I've also heard that static electricity can be a problem when using compressed air, but I haven't drained the water from the compressor tank in a while, so I think there should be sufficient humidity in the air to help dissipate the static charge.
Also, I don't really want to remove the covers from the core memory, as that will void the warranty. (just kidding, I just don't want to ruin the "warrany void if removed" stickers.)
Thanks,
Howard
