Installing a printer hard disk

    Note:  This task requires a flat‑head screwdriver.

    CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD:  If you are accessing the controller board or installing optional hardware or memory devices sometime after setting up the printer, then turn the printer off, and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet before continuing. If you have any other devices attached to the printer, then turn them off as well, and unplug any cables going into the printer.

    Warning—Potential Damage:  Controller board electronic components are easily damaged by static electricity. Touch a metal surface on the printer before touching any controller board electronic components or connectors.

  1. Access the controller board.

    For more information, see Accessing the controller board.

  2. Unpack the printer hard disk.

  3. Locate the appropriate connector on the controller board cage.

    Note:  If an optional ISP is currently installed, then the printer hard disk must be installed onto the ISP.

      To install a printer hard disk onto the ISP:

    1. Remove the screws attached to the printer hard disk mounting bracket, and then remove the bracket.

    2. Align the standoffs of the printer hard disk to the holes in the ISP, and then press the printer hard disk down until the standoffs are in place.

      Installation warning:  Hold only the edges of the printed circuit board assembly. Do not touch or press on the center of the printer hard disk. Doing so may cause damage.

    3. Insert the plug of the printer hard disk interface cable into the receptacle of the ISP.

      Note:  The plugs and receptacles are color‑coded.

      To install a printer hard disk directly on the controller board cage:

    1. Align the standoffs of the printer hard disk to the holes in the controller board cage, and then press the printer hard disk down until the standoffs are in place.

      Installation warning:  Hold only the edges of the printed circuit board assembly. Do not touch or press on the center of the printer hard disk. Doing so may cause damage.

    2. Use the two provided screws to attach the printer hard disk mounting bracket.

    3. Insert the plug of the printer hard disk interface cable into the receptacle of the controller board.

      Note:  The plugs and receptacles are color‑coded.
