Introduction
Defining Preventive Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance

 
Preventive maintenance (PM) refers to performing a series of maintenance tasks to prevent system problems. It is done as a precautionary measure to avoid any problem in future. This is different from corrective maintenance, which includes measures to correct an existing problem. PC (Personal Computer) preventive maintenance includes proactive maintenance of PC components such as, mouse, keyboard, drives, and monitor to ensure smooth functioning of a PC.

For example, if you use a room cooler, you should check the water level regularly. You should clean the water tank and pads at a regular interval. You should also check whether the pump is properly greased. You should perform these maintenance activities to avoid sudden breakdown of your room cooler. This would increase the performance of room cooler and helps in smooth functioning for a longer period of time.
