Depends on the platform.
For example, Cisco says you should "remove and vacuum the air filter

Hands up how many of us do that?

Again, best left alone.
The best way of messing up a cable connection is to "check" it.
There is a possibly apocryphal statistic that when the engineers of
the UK national telco, British Telecom were on strike, the number of
reported faults decreased dramatically as there was no-one to disturb
any connections by checking and the like.
