Removing and replacing components
BIOS chip
The BIOS chip is located in the PLCC32 socket on the motherboard. The BIOS chip
contains boot information, such as the startup diagnostics that the Fiery X3eTY uses
when you power on the system. If you must install a BIOS chip, use the following
procedure.
TO INSTALL THE BIOS CHIP
1. Locate the motherboard PLCC32 socket (U15).
2. If a BIOS chip is already installed in the socket, remove it using a PROM extractor.
Make sure not to put stress on surrounding components or connectors.
3. Place the required BIOS chip on the socket so that the notch in the chip is aligned with
the notch in the socket.

after service” on page 34).
