Installing a SCSI Interface
Attention
It's very important to protect the printer controller board and any
associated circuit boards from electrostatic damage. Before performing
this procedure, review the antistatic caution on page 100. In addition,
always handle circuit boards by the edges only.
1
Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the power cord and all interface
cables from the printer.
2
Remove the controller board.
Loosen four screws, and pull
the controller board
from the printer.
3
Position the controller board
on a flat surface so it lies flat
and the I/O connector panel
is facing you.
4
Remove the two screws hold-
ing the metal plate over the
SCSI interface opening.
You can dispose of the metal
plate and screws according to
local regulations.
5
Attach the ribbon cable to its connector on the SCSI interface card.
a
Position the SCSI interface card so that its ribbon cable connector
aligns with the SCSI connector on the controller board.
b
Gently press the ribbon cable connector down until it's fully seated.
Attention
Make sure that the connectors on the ribbon cable and the controller
board are properly aligned. Damage to the controller board could
result if the pins are misaligned.
c
Insert the SCSI interface card connector into its opening in the inter-
face panel.
d
Secure the SCSI interface card to the interface panel with the two
larger screws in the kit.
5
Reinstall the controller board.
Gently slide the controller board into the printer's tracks until it is fully
seated, and then tighten the four screws.
