TOOLS YOU WILL NEED 8
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 9
Precautions
Always observe the following general precautions when servicing the Fiery X3eTY2 assembly:
1. Report any shipping damage.
2. 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 file a claim, and notify
your authorized service/support center.
3. 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 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.
4. Never assign an IP address in Network Setup.
Only the site administrator should assign an IP address on a network device. Assigning an
incorrect IP address to the Fiery X3eTY2 can cause unpredictable errors on any or all devices.
5. 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 fibers,
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 floor 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.
6. Avoid flexing a printed circuit board, and handle it by opposing edges (not corners) only.
7. Never set a cup of coffee—or any liquid—on or near any components or the copier.

N OTE : If you are installing a new motherboard on a system that uses an older version of
system software, you will also need the System Software DVD provided with the new
motherboard.
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 before performing the system update, as this may result in
an error. If system software installation is required, first perform the system update and
then install system software.
• 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. Access and open the Fiery X3eTY2, as described on page 16.
2. Remove the interface board from the extender card (see page 24).
Place the removed board on an antistatic surface.

3. Disconnect the following cables from the motherboard (see Figure 7 on page 19):
N OTE : Note the cable routing before you cut any tie-wraps so that you can properly arrange
the cabling later with new tie-wraps. Tie-wraps are included in the motherboard spare kit.

4. Remove the two screws that attach the rail to the pan. Remove the extender card from the
motherboard connector PCI1. Set aside the rail with the extender card attached, and the two
screws.
5. Remove the five screws that secure the Fiery X3eTY2 motherboard to the pan.
Set aside the screws so that you can replace them later.
6. Lift the edge of the motherboard opposite the connector panel to release the motherboard
from the pan. Gently lift the motherboard out of the pan, and place the motherboard on a
flat, anti-static surface.
Make sure the connectors on the motherboard clear the cutouts in the connector panel as you
remove the board. Note the position of the “metal fingers” on the USB connectors so that you
can re-position them later. Avoid handling contacts or using excessive force.
7. If you are replacing the motherboard with a new motherboard, remove the following from the
old motherboard:
• DIMM(s) (see page 25)

• CPU cooling assembly and CPU (see page 41)
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:
• Install the DIMM(s), CPU, and CPU assembly from the old motherboard onto the new
motherboard. For DIMM(s), see page 25; for the CPU and cooling assembly, see page 40.
Do not transfer the BIOS chip from the old motherboard onto the new motherboard.
Doing so can cause the system to shut down due to incompatibility issues.
• Clear the CMOS and power-up settings:
– Make sure that the power cable is removed from the Fiery X3eTY2.
– Remove the battery from the motherboard (see page 26).
– Wait 5 full minutes.
– Reinstall the battery.
2. Angle the motherboard so that the connectors on the motherboard fit into the cutouts in the
connector panel of the pan, and gently slide the motherboard into the pan.
As you install it, be careful to avoid stressing the motherboard or the surrounding cables in
the pan. Make sure to reposition the metal fingers on the USB connectors.
3. Align the mounting holes on the motherboard with the screw holes located in the base of
the pan.
4. Install the five motherboard screws into the pan.
To prevent stress on the motherboard, partially tighten all the screws before completely
tightening any single screw.
5. Connect the following cables from the motherboard (see Figure 7 on page 19):
• Soft power button cables (two) at connector labeled “Front Panel”

6. Install the extender card (with rail attached) into motherboard connector PCI1. Align the rail
onto the pan and install the two screws you removed earlier.
7. Replace the interface board to Slot 2 (top slot) of the extender card (see page 24).
8. Reassemble the Fiery X3eTY2 (see page 53).
• If you have reinstalled the old motherboard in the Fiery X3eTY2, verify system
functionality (see Figure 19 on page 54).
• If you have installed a new motherboard, enter Service Mode and verify the functionality
of the new motherboard (see page 34).
Verifying the functionality of a new motherboard installation

N OTE : Before proceeding with this section, make sure that you have all the required
components, as described on page 28.
After you install a new motherboard and reassemble the system, you must first verify all
functionality by using the single-use dongle to enter Service Mode. Be sure to verify the
motherboard functionality before updating the system; do not update the system prematurely.
Entering Service Mode allows you to make sure that the new motherboard solves the problem
that you are troubleshooting. Service Mode is a temporary state that allows you to test the
motherboard, and is indicated on the DIAG LEDs by the 90 code. Service Mode is exited
automatically when you expend the single-use dongle to update the system (see “To update
the system” on page 38).
TO ENTER SERVICE MODE AND VERIFY THE SYSTEM

N OTE : This procedure assumes you have installed a new motherboard and reassembled the
Fiery X3eTY2.
1. Verify the following:
• The Fiery X3eTY2 is reattached to the copier.

• The service switches are set for normal operation (both away from the DIAG LEDs).
• The Fiery X3eTY2 and copier are powered off.
2. Unpack the single-use dongle included with the new motherboard and connect it to any
available USB port on the Fiery X3eTY2 (see Figure 3 on page 14).
3. Power on the copier using the main power switch, and then power on the Fiery X3eTY2 by
moving the AC power switch on the connector panel to the ON position (|).
Wait several minutes for the copier and Fiery X3eTY2 to start up, and for the Controller
button to become active on the Control Panel LCD under MACHINE mode.
N OTE : During Service Mode, 90 appears on the DIAG LEDs.

4. Print the Fiery X3eTY2 Test Page (see page 55).
5. Connect the Fiery X3eTY2 to the network (see page 56), and ask the site administrator to
print a few test documents from a networked computer that will use the Fiery X3eTY2 (see
Configuration and Setup on the User Documentation CD).
If the problem you are troubleshooting persists, or you are unable to perform steps 4 and 5
above while in Service Mode, the new motherboard has not solved the problem you are
troubleshooting. If this is the case, do not update the system, and do not attempt any other
troubleshooting procedures yet (such as reinstalling system software or replacing the HDD).
Reinstall the old motherboard and return the new motherboard with the unused single-use
dongle to inventory. You may then perform additional service and troubleshooting
procedures.
If the Fiery X3eTY2 is able to print a Test Page and a print job sent over the network, you
may conclude that the new motherboard solves the problem you are troubleshooting.
6. Shut down and power off the Fiery X3eTY2 (see page 15).
You may proceed to update the system.
Updating the system

N OTE : Before proceeding with this section, make sure that you have all the required
components, as described on page 28.
If you concluded in Service Mode that the new motherboard solves the problem you are
troubleshooting, you must update the system.
If you concluded in Service Mode that the new motherboard does not solve the problem you
are troubleshooting, do not update the system (described below), and do not attempt any other
troubleshooting procedures (such as reinstalling system software or replacing the HDD).
Reinstall the old motherboard and return the new motherboard with the unused single-use
dongle to inventory. You may then perform additional service and troubleshooting
procedures.
After the system is updated, the new motherboard fully replaces the old motherboard and
cannot be used in another system. The Fiery X3eTY2 remains enabled for optional features
such as Secure Erase.
To update the system, you must use a prepared flash drive. The procedures in this section are:
• “To prepare a USB flash drive for system update” on page 36
• “To update the system” on page 38
TO PREPARE A USB FLASH DRIVE FOR SYSTEM UPDATE

N OTE : Make sure the boot priority on your PC is set to boot first from the CD-ROM drive.
To find out how to access/change the PC’s BIOS configuration, 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 configuration 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 first 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 37). 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 flash 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 flash drive.
• If the LED on the USB flash drive fails to light when you connect the flash drive to the
PC, do the following: power off the PC, remove and reinsert the USB flash drive into the
PC, and then 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
flash drive, your flash drive capacity is insufficient. Obtain a flash drive with the proper
capacity (specified on page 28), and then repeat the preparation process.

TO UPDATE THE SYSTEM

N OTE : This procedure assumes that the Fiery X3eTY2 is fully assembled, powered off, verified
(see page 34), and requires an update. It also assumes that the USB flash drive has been
properly prepared (see page 36).
1. Make sure the single-use dongle is firmly attached to a USB port on the Fiery X3eTY2.
Make sure no other dongles are attached to the Fiery X3eTY2.
2. Attach the prepared USB flash drive to another USB port on the Fiery X3eTY2 (see Figure 3 on
page 14).
N OTE : If the flash drive interferes with the attached dongle, reconnect the flash drive and the
dongle to the outer USB ports on the Fiery X3eTY2.
3. Power on the Fiery X3eTY2 using its AC power switch.
4. Wait several minutes while the system update files are transferred from the flash drive to
the Fiery X3eTY2.

11. Locate the System Software DVD provided with the new motherboard. Compare the version
number printed on the DVD with the system software version number listed under “Server
Info” on the Configuration page.
• If the version number on the DVD matches the version number on the
Configuration page, the new motherboard installation is complete.
• If the version number on the DVD does not match the version number on the
Configuration page, you must install system software from the DVD to complete the new
motherboard installation. For instructions, see “System software” on page 59.
CPU and CPU cooling assembly

The CPU is installed in a Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) socket on the motherboard. Before
removing the CPU from its socket, disconnect the CPU fan cable from the motherboard and
remove the cooling assembly from the CPU socket (see page 41). The CPU cooling assembly
consists of a fan, a clamp, a heatsink, and a bracket. Always replace both the CPU and the
cooling assembly when you replace either.
N OTE : You should not need to remove the fan from the heatsink. A replacement cooling
assembly ships with the fan already attached. This procedure assumes that you will use the
existing clamp even though a replacement cooling assembly ships with a clamp.

Hard disk drive

The factory-installed hard disk drive (HDD) is formatted and loaded with all Fiery X3eTY2
software, including operating software, system software, network drivers, and printer fonts.
If the HDD is replaced, you must install the system software on the new HDD. If you are
replacing the HDD, you need the following:
• The appropriate system software on DVD
• The latest version of user software (for networked computers that will be printing to the
Fiery X3eTY2)
Before you replace the HDD, if possible, print the following from the Controller menu:
• Configuration page—records the customer’s current Setup configuration (custom settings
will be lost when you install system software).
• Font List—details what fonts are resident on the Fiery X3eTY2. Along with the fonts that
are provided on the System Software CD, the customer may have installed additional fonts
that will be deleted when system software is installed.
For information about installing system software, see page 59.

Proper handling
Handle the HDD with care:
• Use proper ESD practices when grounding yourself and the Fiery X3eTY2.
• Keep magnets and magnetic-sensitive objects away from the HDD.
• Do not remove the screws on top of the HDD. Loosening these screws voids the warranty.
• Never drop, jar, or bump the HDD.
• Handle the HDD by its sides and avoid touching the printed circuit board.
• Allow the HDD to reach room temperature before installation.
HDD problems may be a result of the following:

• Loose or faulty connection
• Faulty HDD
Before you decide that the HDD must be replaced, make sure that the connectors on the
HDD and on the motherboard are intact, properly aligned, and firmly connected. If the pins
are bent, gently straighten them with a pair of needlenose pliers.

PRINTING FIERY X3ETY2 PAGES 55
Printing Fiery X3eTY2 pages

The Control Panel allows you to print special pages that are included in the Fiery X3eTY2
system software. These pages reside on the Fiery X3eTY2 HDD and include the Test Page,
Configuration page, and Font List.
Printing the Configuration page

The Configuration page lists all the settings in effect from the current Setup. After you have
finished running Setup, print a Configuration page to confirm your settings.
Before you perform any service procedure, print the Fiery X3eTY2 Configuration page
(if possible) so that you are prepared to return the settings to their former configurations,
if necessary.
After the connection to the network is made, the site administrator can customize Setup
options according to the network and user environment. Using the Configuration page as a
guide can help speed up this process. For more information, see Configuration and Setup on
the User Documentation CD.
Printing the Test Page

Before connecting the Fiery X3eTY2 to the network, print the Test Page. The Test Page is a
file that resides in the Fiery X3eTY2. Output verifies that the Fiery X3eTY2 is functional and
connected properly to the copier.

This step assumes that both the copier and Fiery X3eTY2 are powered on and warmed up.
The Controller button is inactive until the Fiery X3eTY2 is ready.
3. Press Print Pages.
4. Press the button for the page you want to print.

VERIFYING CONNECTION TO THE NETWORK 56
5. If you printed the Test Page, examine the output.
If the Test Page prints, you know the Fiery X3eTY2 print engine is functional and the
connection between the Fiery X3eTY2 and the copier is operating properly. When you
examine the PS Test Page, consider the following:
• All swatches should be visible, even though they may be very faint in the lowest ranges.
• Swatches should show uniform gradation as the tone lightens.
• Poor image quality may indicate a need to calibrate the system or service the copier.
6. If you printed the Configuration page, post the page near the server for quick reference.
Users may need the information on this page.
If the Fiery X3eTY2 is not connected to the network yet, see page 56 for information about
connecting and verifying the Fiery X3eTY2 connection to the network.
Verifying connection to the network

The Fiery X3eTY2 provides twisted pair connectivity to an Ethernet network. This section
describes how to connect the Fiery X3eTY2 to the network and then print a few test
documents in order to verify the connection.
Depending on your network speed, the following unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network
cables are supported:
• For 10BaseT, Category 3 or higher
• For 100BaseTX, Category 5 or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)
• For 1000BaseT, Category 5e or higher (4-pair/8-wire, short-length)

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 Configuration 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 customer’s site administrator verify the
Fiery X3eTY2 network requirements.
4. Is the user having printing problems with a particular image file?
If there are problems with files 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.
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.
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 20 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 verified external connections, check the internal connections.
