6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For the glass door, use a standard glass cleaner.
• Fan Inspection: Periodically check the cooling fan for dust accumulation and clear any obstructions to ensure optimal airflow.

• Cable Management: Regularly organize cables to maintain proper airflow and prevent strain on connections.

7. Troubleshooting

• Overheating Equipment: Ensure the cooling fan is operational and not obstructed. Verify that the cabinet is not overloaded with equipment, restricting airflow. Consider ambient room temperature.
• Unstable Cabinet: Check that all leveling feet or casters are properly installed and adjusted. For wall-mounted units, confirm secure attachment to the wall studs.
• Door/Panel Not Closing Properly: Inspect hinges and locking mechanisms for any obstructions or misalignment. Adjust as necessary.
