Checking connections

The most common causes of hardware problems are faulty or loose connections. Once you conclude all external connections are good, check the internal connections:

•Video interface connection between the Fiery EB-105 and the copier

•HDD cable connection from the HDD to the Fiery EB-105 connector J1

•DIMMs

TO CHECK INTERNAL CONNECTIONS

1.Before you touch any parts inside the copier, attach an ESD grounding wrist strap.

2.Inspect internal ribbon cables to see if they are intact.

Faulty ribbon cables are easily overlooked. Check the contact point between the HDD cable and connector J1 for separation. If a ribbon cable is suspect, substitute it with a tested cable. The cable is keyed to ﬁt the shrouded Fiery EB-105 connector in only one way. (The red line on the ribbon cable goes to Pin 1 on the connector.)

3.Make sure that all Fiery EB-105 cables, boards, and DIMMs are properly aligned and well seated on their connectors.

•Fiery EB-105 connection to copier. This connection is for the video interface and for receiving power from the copier power supply.

•HDD ribbon cable from the HDD to the Fiery EB-105 connector J1. See Figure A on page 8.

•Socketed DIMMs. See page 14.

•If an option board is present, check Fiery EB-105 connector J9. See the speciﬁc option kit for documentation.

4.After tightening connections, if one or more Fiery EB-105 components are still not getting power, you may need to check connections required for installing the Fiery EB-105 into the copier or check the copier power supply.

(Information on installing the Fiery EB-105 and on the copier power supply are not included in this document.)

Checking connections

LEDs, jumpers, and switches

The Fiery EB-105 has three activity indicators (LEDs) and one switch that are accessible at the faceplate.

FIGURE C LEDs and switches

•Network Activity LED and Dual LEDs—Adjacent to the on-board RJ-45 connector, the green LED blinks to indicate network activity. It is labeled LINK on the Fiery EB-105 board.

Adjacent to the switch are dual LEDs, one red and one green. They are labeled DIAG- R and DIAG-G on the Fiery EB-105 board. For more information, see “LED patterns” on page 43.

•Service Switch—A service switch is located between the activity LEDs. The service switch enables service functions. The switch is conﬁgured in the OFF position for normal operation, with both switches to the right (away from the board). To perform service functions, such as reinstalling system software, power off the copier and move the switch to the ON position, with both switches to the left (toward the board). After installing system software, power off the copier and return both switches to the OFF position to resume normal operation.

•Jumpers—No jumpers are installed in the standard conﬁguration. A jumper (not provided) must be installed on two-pin jumper area J28 in order to upgrade the Flash. (After the upgrade is ﬁnished, make sure to remove the jumper you install.) J28 is located by the DIMMs, adjacent to the Flash ROM at U5. For more information, see “Flash Upgrade” on page 35.
