8Service Guide: EFI Fiery Central integrated server
Introduction
• Do not change the Windows operating system software preference settings.
Depending on the changes made, the FC integrated server may become unstable or even unusable. If this occurs,
we recommend that you reinstall the FC integrated server System Software, which reliably restores the Windows
operating system software to its factory defaults.
• Never alter an existing network without permission.
The FC integrated server will probably be 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
explicit permission of the system or network administrator or shop supervisor.
• Unless you are the network administrator, never assign an IP address in FC integrated server Network Setup.
In a DHCP environment, the system assigns the IP address automatically. In a non-DHCP environment, enter only
the IP address that has been assigned by the network administrator. Only the network administrator should assign
an IP address to a network device. Assigning the FC integrated server an incorrect IP address may cause
unpredictable errors on any or all devices connected to the network.
Creating an electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe environment
Static is always a concern when servicing electronic devices. It is highly unlikely that the area around the FC
integrated server 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 grounding strap, grounded at the
same place as the antistatic mat. If that is not possible, do the following:
• Attach a grounding strap to your wrist. Attach the other end to a good ground.
• When you unpack the FC integrated server from the carton for the first time, touch a metal area of other device
or equipment to discharge the static on your body.
• Before you remove any of the FC integrated server panels and handle internal components, touch a metal part of
the FC integrated server.
• Leave new electronic components inside their antistatic bags until you are ready to install them. When you
remove components from an antistatic bag, place them on a grounded antistatic surface, component-side up.
• When you remove an electronic component, place it in an antistatic bag immediately. Do not walk across a
carpet or vinyl floor while carrying an unprotected board.
Important: Follow standard ESD precautions while working on the internal components of the FC integrated
server.
