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 file 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 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.
5.

Avoid flexing a printed circuit board, and handle it by opposing edges (not corners) only.

6.

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

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 19.


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 30).
TO

ENTER

S ERVICE M ODE

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 C on page 7).

3.

4.

Print the Fiery X3eTY2 Test Page (see page 47).

5.

Connect the Fiery X3eTY2 to the network (see page 48), and have the site administrator
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 if you are unable to perform step 4
and step 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 8).

You may proceed to update the system.

25

Removing and replacing components

Updating the system


N OTE : Before proceeding with this section, make sure that you have all the required

components, as described on page 19.


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
To update the system

26

Removing and replacing components

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 PCs 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 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 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; 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 19), and repeat the preparation process.

Printing Fiery X3eTY2 pages

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.

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 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 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; 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 that has the
proper capacity (specified on page 56), and repeat the preparation process.

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 find out if the
problem is a simple operating failure or a failure caused by a network or configuration
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.

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 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 customers 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.

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

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 specific application or printing a particular file.
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.


Conflicting network settings in Setup and on the customers computers
Printing problems caused by inappropriate Setup options
Application-specific printing errors caused by missing or incorrectly installed printer
description files

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, first 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.
Confirmed 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 difficult
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.
