    Study Notes

    Aims of Preventive Maintenance

    • Primary aim is to reduce the likelihood of equipment failure and extend the lifespan of devices.
    • Preventive maintenance seeks to minimize downtime and disruptions in operations.

    Passive vs. Active Preventive Maintenance

    • Passive preventive maintenance involves routine inspections and checks without immediate corrective action, like regular monitoring of system conditions.
    • Active preventive maintenance includes proactive steps to address potential issues before they escalate, such as replacing worn parts before failure.

    Creating a Safe Environment for Devices

    • Ensure proper ventilation and cooling to prevent overheating.
    • Keep devices clean and dust-free to avoid hardware damage.
    • Implement surge protection to safeguard against power spikes.

    Functionality and Goals of Preventive Maintenance

    • Aims to detect and rectify issues early to avoid extensive repairs.
    • Benefits include enhanced reliability, increased productivity, and extended equipment lifespan.

    Types of Preventive Maintenance Examples

    • An example of passive preventive maintenance is scheduled inspections without immediate alterations.
    • An example of active preventive maintenance is a technician proactively replacing filters or lubricating moving parts during maintenance checks.

    Disk Cleanup and File Defragmentation

    • Purpose of disk cleanup is to remove unnecessary files and free up storage space.
    • File defragmentation reorganizes fragmented data on hard drives to improve access speed and system performance.
