Tools you will need

Tools you will need


To install or service the Fiery X3eTY2, bring the following tools and parts to the customer site: ESD wrist grounding strap and antistatic mat #1 and #2 Phillips head screwdrivers Needlenose pliers Avoid touching magnetic tools to storage media such as hard disks. Contact between magnetic tools and magnetic storage media may result in data corruption. You should also bring this guide, documentation for any optional service kits you may be installing, and any technical notes for the Fiery X3eTY2.

Precautions
Always observe the following general precautions when servicing the Fiery X3eTY2 assembly:
1. Report any shipping damage.

If there is any evidence of shipping or handling damage to packing boxes or their contents, save the damaged boxes and parts, call the shipper immediately to le a claim, and notify your authorized service/support center.
2. Never alter an existing network without permission.

The Fiery X3eTY2 is probably connected to an existing Local Area Network (LAN) based on Ethernet hardware. The network is the link between the customers 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.
3. Never assign an IP address in Network Setup.

Only the site administrator should assign an IP address on a network device. Entering an incorrect IP address to the Fiery X3eTY2 can cause unpredictable errors on any or all devices.

Precautions

4.

Follow standard ESD (electrostatic discharge) precautions while working on the internal components of the print engine.

Static is always a concern when servicing electronic devices. It is highly unlikely that the area around the print engine is static-free. Carpeting, leather-soled shoes, synthetic clothing bers, silks, and plastics may generate a static charge of more than 10,000 volts. Static discharge is capable of destroying the circuits etched in silicon microchips, or dramatically shortening their life span. By observing standard precautions, you may avoid extra service calls and save the cost of a new board. When possible, work on a ground-connected antistatic mat. Wear an antistatic wristband, grounded at the same place as the antistatic mat. If that is not possible: Attach a grounding strap to your wrist. Attach the other end to a good ground. When you remove an electronic component, place it into an antistatic bag immediately. Do not walk across a carpet or vinyl oor while carrying an unprotected board. Leave new electronic components inside their antistatic bags until you are ready to install them. When you unpack the electronic components, touch a metal area of the copier to discharge the static on your body. Place the components on a grounded antistatic surface, component-side up.
5. 6. Avoid exing a printed circuit board, and handle it by opposing edges (not corners) only. Never set a cup of coffeeor any liquidon or near any components or the copier.

Removing and replacing components

Cautions for a new motherboard installation If you are installing a new motherboard: Transfer the DIMM(s) and CPU from the old motherboard. Spare motherboards ship with replacement thermal compound for use when transferring the CPU. Make sure the new motherboard solves the problem you are troubleshooting before you update the system. Updating the system permanently customizes the new motherboard so that it cannot be returned to inventory and cannot be installed in another Fiery X3eTY2. If the new motherboard does not solve the problem, do not update the motherboard. Return the new motherboard and unused single-use dongle to inventory. Do not reinstall system software. Reinstalling system software is not necessary when installing a new motherboard and can result in an error if done before performing the system update. BIOS chips are not interchangeable. Do not transfer the BIOS chip from the old motherboard onto the new motherboard. Doing so can damage the Fiery X3eTY2. Do not install a new HDD at the same time that you install a new motherboard. It is unlikely that both the HDD and the motherboard are defective; therefore, avoid replacing both to solve one problem. If troubleshooting strategies (checking cables and connections, and so forth) do not resolve the problem and you suspect either the HDD or the motherboard is at fault, use the following order: replace the HDD; install system software; verify the problem still exists; and then move on to other procedures, such as replacing the motherboard. Otherwise, you may need to return the Fiery X3eTY2. Do update the system using the single-use dongle and the Feature Activation CD. Removing the motherboard Use the following procedure to remove the motherboard from the Fiery X3eTY2. TO

REMOVE THE MOTHERBOARD

1. 2.

Access and open the Fiery X3eTY2, as described on page 9. Remove the interface board from the extender card (see page 16).

Removing and replacing components

Replacing the motherboard Use the following procedure to install the motherboard in the Fiery X3eTY2 pan. If you are replacing an old motherboard with a new motherboard, you will need to verify functionality and update the system after installing the new motherboard. TO

REPLACE THE MOTHERBOARD

1.

If you are installing a new motherboard, place the motherboard on an antistatic surface with some padding. Then complete the following tasks:

FLASH DRIVE FOR SYSTEM UPDATE

N OTE : Make sure the boot priority on your PC is set to boot rst from the CD-ROM

drive. To nd out how to access/change the PCs BIOS conguration, see the documentation that accompanies your PC. Typically, pressing a key during power up (such as F2 or DEL or F8) will access the BIOS conguration screen.
1. Power on the PC and as soon as the CD-ROM drive LED goes out, load the USB Flash Installer CD into the CD-ROM drive.

If you load the CD too late, the PC boots as usual. In that case, restart the PC so that the PC boots from the CD.
2. Allow the PC to boot from the CD (several minutes, depending on your PC).

Troubleshooting tips: If the PC fails to display the Flash Drive Setup screen within 30 minutes, make sure that the PC boot priority is set to boot rst from the CD-ROM drive, and make sure that no devices are connected to the USB-A ports. If booting from the CD still fails, try another PC. It could be that your PC is not compatible with the boot program on the USB Flash Installer CD.
3. Follow the USB Flash Installer screen prompts (see page 28). To respond to a prompt, use only the keyboard; do not use the mouse.

Troubleshooting tips: The USB Flash Installer CD may not work properly on some PCs. In such cases, the Flash Drive Setup will complete, but the ash drive will fail to load system software on the Fiery X3eTY2. If this happens, use a different PC in conjunction with the USB Flash Installer CD to prepare the ash drive. If the LED on the USB ash drive fails to light when you connect the ash drive to the PC, do the following: power off the PC; remove and reinsert the USB ash drive into the PC; verify that its LED turns on when the PC is turned on. If an error message appears stating that there is not enough space available on the USB ash drive, your ash drive capacity is insufcient. Obtain a ash drive with the proper capacity (specied on page 19), and repeat the preparation process.

N OTE : Make sure the boot priority on your PC is set to boot rst from the DVD-ROM

drive. To nd out how to access/change the PCs BIOS conguration, see the documentation that accompanies your PC. Typically, pressing a key during power up (such as F2 or DEL or F8) will access the BIOS conguration screen.
1. Power on the PC and as soon as the DVD-ROM drive LED goes out, load the USB Flash Installer CD into the PCs DVD-ROM drive.

If you load the CD too late, the PC boots as usual. In that case, restart the PC so that the PC boots from the CD.
2. Allow the PC to boot from the CD (several minutes, depending on your PC).

Troubleshooting tips: If the PC fails to display the Flash Drive Setup screen within 30 minutes, make sure that the PC boot priority is set to boot rst from the DVD-ROM drive, and make sure that no devices are connected to the USB-A ports. If booting from the CD still fails, try another PC. It could be that your PC is not compatible with the boot program on the USB Flash Installer CD.
3. Follow the USB Flash Installer screen prompts (see page 58). To respond to a prompt, use only the keyboard; do not use the mouse.

Troubleshooting tips: The USB Flash Installer CD may not work properly on some PCs. In such cases, the Flash Drive Setup will complete, but the ash drive will fail to load system software on the Fiery X3eTY2. If this happens, use a different PC in conjunction with the USB Flash Installer CD to prepare the ash drive. If the LED on the USB ash drive fails to light when you connect the ash drive to the PC, do the following: power off the PC; remove and reinsert the USB ash drive into the PC; verify that its LED turns on when the PC is turned on. If an error message appears stating that there is not enough space available on the USB ash drive, your ash drive capacity is insufcient. Obtain a ash drive that has the proper capacity (specied on page 56), and repeat the preparation process.

The troubleshooting process

The troubleshooting process


The following sections identify the sources of common problems that may occur with the Fiery X3eTY2 and suggests ways of correcting them. These sections do not attempt to provide troubleshooting information for attached computers such as PCs, for the copier, or for extensive networks. Refer problems in these areas to the appropriate service departments and site administrators. The troubleshooting process is designed to eliminate the most obvious causes of failure before progressing to more complex issues. Where problems occur on page 64 gives an overview of the Fiery X3eTY2 components and indicates areas most likely to require troubleshooting. Try a phone check before you go to the customer site. Before you go to the customer site on page 66 suggests areas you should check before making a service call to the customer site. With a phone call, you can nd out if the problem is a simple operating failure or a failure caused by a network or conguration change. You can ask the customer to check for loose cables on the back of the copier and loose connections at a power strip or outlet. Check for obvious causes of problems. Check network connections. Preliminary on-site checkout on page 67 takes you through the initial visual checks you should make when you arrive at the customer site. Checking the network on page 83 provides guidelines for checking the network connections between the copier and the computers to which it is connected, as well as information on several printing problems.

Where problems occur


The Fiery X3eTY2 is a built-in print server for the copier, and it is generally part of a conguration like the one shown in Figure S. Problems may occur in one of the following areas: The Fiery X3eTY2 or the copier The interface between the Fiery X3eTY2 and the copier The interface between the Fiery X3eTY2 and computers that print to it

The troubleshooting process

Before you go to the customer site


Before you make a service call to a customer site, talk to the customer on the phone, and check the following items:
1. Does the copier work?

If the copier works, but the user cannot print the Fiery X3eTY2 Test Page, a service call is probably required.
2. Is the failure caused by a simple operating problem?

Is there a printing problem? Does the Fiery X3eTY2 Test Page fail to print? Does the Fiery X3eTY2 fail to respond to a print command? Does printing seem to take a long time? Is print quality poor? Does the Fiery X3eTY2 fail to appear in the list of printers? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, refer the customer to Conguration and Setup on the User Documentation CD or Command WorkStation Help. If the customer has followed the suggested corrective actions and has failed to solve the problem, be prepared to make a service call. Keep a log of the failures the customer has observed.
3. Has the customer made any network changes?

If network changes have occurred, request that the customers site administrator verify the Fiery X3eTY2 network requirements.
4. Is the user having printing problems with a particular image le?

If there are problems with les from particular applications, the user may be more successful using different print settings. If your telephone call fails to solve the problem, proceed to the next phase, the preliminary on-site checkout.

66

The troubleshooting process

Preliminary on-site checkout


Your goal in the preliminary on-site checkout is to eliminate obvious problems, such as loose or missing cables and connectors.

Checking connections
Before you remove the Fiery X3eTY2: Make sure the external cables are connected properly. Make sure the Fiery X3eTY2 power cable is plugged into an electrical outlet. Make sure the Fiery X3eTY2 is properly connected to the copier and that the copier is powered on. If all the connectors are in place and the problem still exists when the copier is powered on, proceed to the next phase of troubleshooting.
N OTE : For convenience, the procedure To check internal connections on page 13 is

repeated here under Troubleshooting. See other documentation for guidelines when disassembling, checking, and reassembling the copier. The most common causes of hardware problems are faulty or loose connections. Before you decide to replace any parts of the Fiery X3eTY2, make sure to verify all cables and connections. If you have veried external connections, check the internal connections.

The troubleshooting process

Checking the network


Printing problems may arise if the network hardware or software is not set up properly or does not match network settings on the Fiery X3eTY2. Problems may also arise when printing from a specic application or printing a particular le. Most of these problems show up as printing problems and do not necessarily indicate a Fiery X3eTY2 malfunction. The customers site administrator can eliminate many printing problems without requiring you to make a service call. The site administrator deals with: Error conditions on the copier Network connection problems that result in the copier not appearing in the list of printers on the customers computers
N OTE : If the copier does not appear in the list of printers on the network, there may be

another device on the network with the same IP address. Conicting network settings in Setup and on the customers computers Printing problems caused by inappropriate Setup options Application-specic printing errors caused by missing or incorrectly installed printer description les

Printing to the Fiery X3eTY2


If the customer can print the Fiery X3eTY2 Test Page but cannot print a job from a computer on the network, you may have to make a service call. However, rst make sure the site administrator has done the following: Checked all components of the network, including cables, connectors, terminators, network adapter boards, and network drivers. Activated the network and used it to communicate with other printers. Conrmed that the applicable network settings in Setup (such as AppleTalk zone, IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address) match the settings used in the network. When you make a service call, check the Fiery X3eTY2 connector panel to make sure that the appropriate network connection is in place. Print quality problems are difcult to trace. Before you try to troubleshoot print quality problems, print a Test Page to make sure that the copier does not need servicing or adjusting. Also, make sure the correct paper is being used in the copier.

Causes and solutions when printer does not print


Solution Power on the copier and the Fiery X3eTY2 (each has its own power switch). Make sure the interface cable is properly connected to the copier and to the Fiery X3eTY2. Load the specied paper in any of the input trays. If you cannot, the copier may be out of order. You may need to service the copier. Verify that the enclosed fans are present, oriented correctly, and functioning (see page 37).

Possible Cause Is the power on? Is the interface cable properly connected? Is the specied paper loaded? Can you print a Test Page from the printer driver? Enclosed fan not present or not functioning.

Other printing problems The following table lists other printing problems and what to do about them.
T ABLE C Problem An image is printed on the reverse side of the paper. Multiple pages are fed through the copier at once. Paper misfeeds occur frequently. It takes too long to complete the print job.

Other printing problems


Action Reload the paper in the paper tray upside down. Remove all the pages from the paper tray and fan them gently before reloading. Check the paper size settings. Use the recommended paper. Avoid using curled, folded, wrinkled, perforated, or glossy paper. The data is so large or complex that it takes additional time to process. If the Data indicator is blinking, data is being processed. Wait until it is nished.
