Rear shock air valve?

I haven't found any info in my owners manual on that little air canister (beside the rear power outlet), which appears to be part of the rear shock. It has a Schrader valve on it, but I don't know if a specific air pressure should be maintained? Am I missing something? :confused:

That's the gas pressure for the rear shock. It is charged with Nitrogen and you should never need to mess with it unless rebuilding the shock.
 
Thanks much. I kinda figured that, but the fact that it had a schrader valve, conveniently positioned as if it was to be regularly serviced, had me wondering.
