64 Installation and Service Guide
Replacing Parts
To replace the motherboard components
1 Replace the following cables to the motherboard (for the location of each connector on the motherboard, see
Figure 31 on page 59):
•
Fiery QuickTouch USB cable
•
Hard disk drive (HDD) data cable
•
SATA data cable
•
Power supply cable
•
24-pin motherboard power cable
•
4-pin motherboard power cable
•
Fan cables (chassis fan and CPU fan)
2 Secure cables as necessary with any plastic cable clamp that you may have removed earlier.
3 Replace the printer interface board (see page 56 ).
Make sure to install the board mounting bracket screw to secure the board to the chassis. Press down firmly on the
top of the board as you insert the screw.
4 If you reinstall the old motherboard, reassemble the E-35A and verify its functionality (see page 82 ).
5 If you replaced the motherboard with a new motherboard, do the following:
•
Remove the battery (see page 73 ).
•
Wait two minutes to allow the motherboard electrical components to fully discharge.
•
Reinstall the battery (see page 73 ).
•
Reassemble the E-35A and verify its functionality (see page 82 ).
•
Reset the time and date in Setup (see page 73 ).
Verifying new motherboard installation, and transferring options and BIOS information
After you install a new motherboard and reassemble the system, do the following:
•
Verify all functionality by using the motherboard replacement dongle to enter Service Mode. (Service Mode is not
indicated on the monitor or Fiery QuickTouch, but is entered once you power on with a new motherboard installed
and the motherboard replacement dongle installed on a USB port.)
Service Mode is a temporary state that allows you to make sure that the motherboard solves the problem that you
are troubleshooting. Service Mode is exited automatically when you expend the motherboard replacement dongle
to transfer options to the new motherboard (see “Entering Service Mode” on page 65).
Important: Make sure that unused connector panel slots are covered with slot covers. Uncovered slots reduce
air flow and may cause the E-35A to overheat.
