This kit contains the components necessary to upgrade a Phaser 200e, 200i or 220e to a Phaser 240 Color
Printer. Generally, this involves replacing the printerÕs old image processor board with a new image
processor board. In the case of the Phaser 200e and 200i, the printerÕs engine control board must also be
replaced with a new engine control board included in this kit. In all cases, the unused or replaced
components must be returned to Tektronix. This upgrade should only be installed by qualiÞed service
personnel.

print engine controller board
■
8-Mbyte RAM SIMM

Static electricity precautions
■
Plug in the ground adapter (003-1501-00) in an AC outlet. Connect the
anti-static mat (006-7056-00) to the adapterÕs groundplug.
■
Put on your anti-static wrist strap and connect it to the anti-static mat.
■
Leave the printer plugged into its power outlet; this preserves a
ground path for static discharges.
■
Touch the printer's bare metal frame often to discharge static
electricity from your body.
■
Handle the circuit board(s) by their edges only.
■
Do not lay the board(s) on a metal surface.
■
Avoid wearing nylon or polyester clothing; they generate static
electricity.

Removing the old boards
1. Power down the printer. Leave the power cord plugged in to provide
a ground path for static discharges. Remove the interface cables.
2. Remove the top-rear and rear cabinet panels.
3. Remove the screws securing the old I/O board to the card cage.
4. Disconnect the I/O boardÕs ribbon cable(s) from the image processor
board. The Phaser 220i and 200i I/O boards have two ribbon cables;

SIMM installation on the new image processor board
1. If installed, remove the font module by spreading the pawls at each
end of the font module connector securing the module in place.
2. Installing the RAM SIMM. Insert the RAM SIMM in connector J7 ( a ), and
tilt the card upright until it locks in place (
b ). When properly inserted,
a tab on each end of the connector slips into a hole on each end of the
card. Also, a pawl on each end of the connector latches around each
end of the card to lock it in place.
3. Installing the Ethernet card. Insert the Ethernet card in connector J30 ( a ),
and tilt the card upright until it locks in place (
b ). When properly
inserted, a tab on each end of the connector slips into a hole on each
end of the card. Also, a metal pawl on each end of the connector
latches around each end of the card to lock it in place.
4. Reinstall the font module, if removed. Like the RAM SIMM, when
properly inserted, a tab on each end of the connector slips into a hole
on each end of the card. Also, a pawl on each end of the connector
latches around each end of the card to lock it in place.
