Appendix A: Device Maintenance
Periodically perform maintenance on your Datacryptor.
• Keep components free of dust and other particulate matter.
• Check fans for reduced airflow caused by dust build-up and clean as necessary.
• Examine cables and fiber for damage and ensure that airflow requirements have been met.
• Consult the Environment tab on the Front Panel Viewer’s Properties dialog for readings of
