As system manager, you want a general maintenance schedule to keep the system working properly. You can develop one like this yourself, or you
can request Hewlett-Packard support personnel to help you. Hewlett-Packard shows you how to clean the peripherals when the system is set up.
Table 12-8 “Peripheral Maintenance Schedule” gives an example of recommended maintenance procedures.
