Service Guide: Fiery® ES IC-420
Introduction
Preparing for hardware installation or parts replacement
Before installing or servicing the Fiery ES, follow general precautions and obtain the correct tools.
It is strongly recommended that before you service the Fiery ES, you carefully read all precautions and notices (see pages
).
Also, keep in mind that the most common cause of a hardware problem is a faulty or loose connection. Before you replace
an expensive component, check internal and external connections (see
When you type the static IP addresses, make sure to type the addresses correctly. If you enter a wrong static IP address, the
Fiery ES menu will not appear on the printer control panel because the Printer cannot communicate with the Fiery ES. (If
the Fiery ES menu is not shown in the printer control panel, there is no way to confirm and fix the address for the Fiery
ES.)
Precautions
This section includes information about how to safely operate and service the Fiery ES and how to avoid damage to Fiery
ES 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 Fiery ES 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 Fiery ES
Only the site administrator should assign an IP address to a network device, including the Fiery ES. If you enter an
incorrect IP address for the Fiery ES, 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.
•
Keep magnets and magnetic-sensitive objects away from the hard disk drive.
•
Do not loosen or remove the screws on the top of the hard disk drive. Doing so voids the warranty.
•
Handle the hard disk drive by its sides and avoid touching the printed circuit board.
