Tape System Maintenance |

|
A Can of Air Goes a Long Way |
|
|
Heat is the enemy of your computer system. Dust accumulation inside the case on the internal components causes heat to build up on those components. Every 6 months to a year you should slip the case off of your main server and use a can of clean air to blow the dust off of all the internal components and off the fan in the power supply in the back of the unit. You will be glad you did. |

|
Avoiding System Slowdown |
|
|
Is your system starting to slow down? It may be time to resize your files and perform a full restore. As your data expands and contracts the data on your hard drive can become fragmented. Use the KEY-POS utility to mark your files for resizing, perform a full save and then a restore using the “:FILES” command. Performing this process quarterly will de-fragment your hard drive and keep your system working efficiently. |
|
Remove Hard Drive from Drawer |
|
|
Hard Drive Drawer problems have resulted in system slow downs due to heat. If your hard drive is still in a removable drawer, please contact DBMS technicians about having it re-mounted inside the case.
|
|
Test Your UPS ! |
|
|
We want to remind you to test your UPS or Battery Backups. Since your UPS uses a battery, that battery is subject to the same wear and tear as any other battery. As such, the battery, or entire UPS may need occasional replacement.The function of your UPS is to give you enough time to properly shutdown your system during an unexpected power outage, as well as provide constant power during power fluctuations. Additionally, the UPS also provides for a surge protection function.
