Write down a description of where each of the labels are located on the
board, and carefully remove those labels for re-attachment after cleaning.
This is what I do to preserve labels. Usually the label adhesive on older
products is shot anyway - and the labels need to be attached again after
just minimal handling.

Hi all,
The thread on cleaning cards by running them through
the dishwasher was timely as I am resurrecting an
HP3000/XE. The system came from Pacific Pipe in
Oakland and is the *filthest* system I have ever seen.
The "computer room" on the second floor was left open
to the work yard and all matter of dirt, dust, grime
etc was sucked into the CPU, disc drive and tape. The
CPU boards literally had a layer of grime covering
them.
Of course since this was an HP box it booted right up
even though it was basically "clogged".
Many of the HP cards have paper stickers indicating
part number, revision, etc. Any thoughts on preserving
these through a dishwasher cycle? Or should I just
gently hand rinse? THanks!
