Replacing Fiery X3e board components
4.
Lay the board on a flat surface and remove the faceplate from the Fiery X3e.
The board is attached to the faceplate with 10 screws: 8 screws through the board into
standoffs plus 2 screws on the parallel connector. Set aside the screws, standoffs, and
faceplate so that you can reinstall them later.
5.
Lay the board upside down on a flat surface and dislodge each cooling unit pin from the
hole in the board.
From the bottom of the board, use your fingers or needlenose pliers to squeeze the pin
together then push the pin into the hole. Each pin is slotted and has a lip to secure it to
the board. Squeezing the slotted pin together enables you to dislodge it from the hole in
the board. Allow the pins to remain connected to the cooling unit.

Make sure not to apply excessive pressure on the board. When using needlenose
pliers, orient the pliers perpendicular to the board in order to keep from scraping any
board components or circuitry.
6.
Remove the CPU cooling unit, noting its orientation on the CPU.

COOLING
UNIT
1.
Position the CPU cooling unit over the board holes around the CPU.
Orient the cooling unit so that the fan cable will not be stretched when connected to the
on-board connector J300.
2.
Attach the CPU cooling unit to the board by pushing each of the four pins through the
hole so that the lip of each pin snaps into place on the bottom of the board.

3.
Reinstall the faceplate on the Fiery X3e.
The board is attached to the faceplate with 10 screws: 8 screws through the board into
standoffs plus 2 screws on the parallel connector. Use the screws and standoffs that you
removed earlier.
4.
Plug the CPU fan cable into the 3-pin board connector J300.
The fan cable connector is keyed to ensure proper connection.
5.
Reassemble the Fiery X3e and verify functionality.
See “Restoring Fiery X3e functionality after service” on page 3-19.
