Tools you will need
To install or service the E-85A, you will need the following tools and parts:
•
ESD wrist grounding strap and antistatic mat

Flathead screwdriver
•
#0, #1, and #2 Phillips head screwdrivers

Precautions
This section includes information about how to safely operate and service the E-85A and how to avoid damage to E-85A
components.
Report shipping damage
If there is evidence of shipping damage, save the shipping boxes and damaged parts. Call the shipper immediately to file a
claim and notify your authorized service/support center.
Do not change an existing network
The E-85A is probably connected to an existing Local Area Network (LAN) based on Ethernet hardware. The network is
the link between the customer’s computer, existing laser printers, and other prepress equipment. Never disturb the LAN by
breaking or making a network connection, altering termination, installing or removing networking hardware or software,
or shutting down networked devices without the knowledge and express permission of the site administrator.
Do not assign an IP address to the E-85A
Only the site administrator should assign an IP address to a network device, including the E-85A. If you enter an incorrect
IP address for the E-85A, errors may occur on connected devices.
Handling boards
When handling a printed circuit board, do not bend it. Hold it by opposing edges, rather than by the corners.
Handling the hard disk drive
To ensure that you do not damage the hard disk drive, do the following:
•
Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions.
Important:
Avoid touching magnetic tools to storage media such as hard disk drives. Contact between magnetic
tools and magnetic storage media may result in data corruption.
