80 Installation and Service Guide: Color Controller E-36A
Replacing Parts
•
Loose or faulty connection
•
Faulty data or power cable
•
Faulty HDD (bad sectors, read/write errors, or physical damage)
The hard disk drive is mounted inside a bracket (see Figure 44 ).
If you are replacing the hard disk drive with a new one, you will need:
•
The appropriate system software and documentation for the E-36A that you are servicing.
•
A compatible version of the user software for the networked computers that will print to the E-36A.
To remove the HDD
1 If you are replacing the HDD with a new HDD, allow the site administrator the opportunity to print the Job Log
and save any custom simulation and output profiles. If possible, print the following:
•
Configuration pages: Provide records of any installed options and the customer’s current Setup configuration.
•
Font List: Lists the fonts currently on the HDD. Along with the fonts provided, the customer may have installed
additional fonts.
For information about how to print the Configuration page and Font List, see page 30 .
2 Access and open the E-36A (see page 50 ).
3 Remove the power cable from the HDD.
4 Remove the data cable from the HDD by pulling the connector (not the cable) straight out from the HDD.
5 Remove the screws that secure the HDD assembly to the chassis (see Figure 43 ).
Set aside the screws so that you can replace them later.
Make sure that you attach an ESD grounding wrist strap and follow standard ESD precautions
before handling E-36A components.
