Installation and Service Guide: Color Controller E-85A
Replacing parts
2
Replace the printer interface board assembly to connector PCI-E1 x16 on the motherboard (see
).
When installing the boards, verify the following:
•
The main board is installed in connector PCI-E1 x16 (PCIE_6, topmost) on the motherboard, and the board
connector is properly aligned with the PCI connector. For the correct connector and slot assignments, see
•
The three bracket screws are installed on the connector panel slot.
•
Unused slots have slot covers installed on the connector panel. Uncovered slots reduce the air flow and could cause
the E-85A to overheat.
3
Replace the bracket cover plate to the connector panel (see
4
Replace the graphics board to the PCI-E x8 (lowest) connector.
5
Reassemble the E-85A but do not power on the system.
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
Note:
Features of Fiery Impose-Compose are not available while in Service Mode.
•
If the new motherboard solves the problem that you are troubleshooting, use the motherboard replacement dongle to
transfer options to the new motherboard.
If you determine while in Service Mode that the problem you are troubleshooting was not fixed by installing a new
motherboard, do not expend the motherboard replacement dongle to transfer options to the new motherboard
(described below), do not install system software, and do not replace the hard disk drive. Reinstall the old motherboard
and return the new motherboard and the unused motherboard replacement dongle to inventory. You may then perform
additional service and troubleshooting procedures.
Transferring options (for example, Fiery Graphic Arts, Premium Edition, if applicable) expends the motherboard
replacement dongle. For details, see
Important:
Do not transfer options to the new motherboard prematurely. Do so only after you verify the new
motherboard in Service Mode. Remember that once options are transferred to the new motherboard using the
motherboard replacement dongle, the motherboard is customized and cannot be used in another system.
