Overview
Overview
The Fiery X3eTY Color Server embeds computer connectivity and highly efficient
PostScript and PCL printing capacity into 35C-KM print engines. Generally, the
Fiery X3eTY does not require regular maintenance. The Fiery X3eTY is shipped with all
necessary software already installed.
Use the procedures in this book to inspect, remove, reseat, or replace major hardware
components and to reinstall system software. Replacement parts for the Fiery X3eTY are
available from your authorized service support center.
You must reinstall system software if you replace the hard disk drive (HDD) or receive a
more recent version of the system software. You can also reinstall system software as a way
to troubleshoot the system.

Precautions
Precautions
Always observe the following general precautions when servicing the Fiery X3eTY
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 X3eTY 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.
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 X3eTY can cause unpredictable errors on any or all
devices.
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 print engine 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 coffee—or any liquid—on or near any components or the print device.

ACHTUNG: Es besteht Explosionsgefahr, wenn die Batterien durch einen falschen Batterientyp ersetzt werden. Ersetzen Sie sie
deshalb nur durch denselben, vom Hersteller empfohlenen Typ. Entsorgen Sie leere Batterien entsprechend den Anweisungen
des Herstellers.
CUIDADO: Existe peligro de explosión si la batería se sustituye por una de un tipo incorrecto. Sustituya la batería sólo por
una batería del mismo tipo que recomienda el fabricante. Deseche las baterías usadas según las instrucciones del fabricante.
CUIDADO: Há perigo de explosão se a bateria for substituída por outra de tipo incorreto. Substitua apenas por outra de
mesmo tipo, recomendada pelo fabricante. Descarte as baterias usadas conforme as instruções do fabricante.
VOORZICHTIG: Het vervangen van de batterij door een verkeerd type kan ontploffing veroorzaken. Vervang de batterij
uitsluitend door hetzelfde, door de fabrikant aanbevolen type. Het wegwerpen van batterijen dient volgens de voorschriften
van de fabrikant te gebeuren.

Fiery X3eTY AC power switch and Soft power button
Always use the AC power switch before you disconnect the print engine interface cables
or unplug the AC power cable. Cable disconnections require a complete power off. Using
the Soft power button does not power off the Fiery X3eTY completely.
System administrators can use the Soft power button when they do not need to
disconnect the Fiery X3eTY from the print engine or the AC power outlet, such as after
selecting Factory Defaults in Run Setup. (The Fiery X3eTY shuts off automatically when
it is done setting up the factory defaults.)
