Installing The Ide Hard Disk Upgrade; Removing The Controller Board - Xante FilmMaker 4 User Manual

Installing the IDE Hard Disk Upgrade

The internal IDE hard disk upgrade provides extra space to store downloaded fonts
and allows you to implement the Font Accelerator feature on your printer. See
"Printer Options," earlier in this chapter to order this upgrade. See "Font Accelerator"
in chapter 4 and "Managing Fonts" in chapter 2 (Macintosh) or 3 (PC).
The IDE upgrade contains the following:
• IDE hard disk
• IDE ribbon cable
Static electricity can destroy the printer's electronic components. Always use an
antistatic procedure when working with the controller board. Use an anti-static
wristband or touch an unpainted metal surface to eliminate static electricity before
handling a circuit board. When handling a board, always hold it by the edges and
avoid walking around, particularly on carpeted surfaces.
Required Equipment:
• Small magnetized Phillips head screw driver
• Container to hold parts removed from printer
• Small magnetized flat head screw driver
An IDE hard disk upgrade installation involves
• Removing the controller board from the printer and housing.
• Installing the IDE hard drive onto the controller board.
• Reassembling the printer.

Removing the Controller Board

1. Access the controller board following the procedure in "Removing the
Controller Board Panel" earlier in this chapter.
Use a magnetized screwdriver to remove the metal screws. Be extremely careful not to
drop any screws down into the printer's chassis. This could cause damage to the
printer which is not covered by the warranty. In this case, contact XANTÉ Technical
Support for information on retrieving the screw(s).
2. Remove the front panel cover.
Do not touch any of the controller board circuitry; handle it by its memory bank
latches.
