Service Procedures
Fiery AR-PE2 assembly
The custom Fiery AR-PE2 board has a Celeron CPU that controls the video image data
transferred to and from the copier. The Fiery AR-PE2 board provides the Ethernet
networking interface, controls hard disk drive functions, and handles the communication
between the Fiery AR-PE2 and external devices. It has two DIMM sockets that hold a
total memory of 128MB (upgradable to 256MB). See Figure 3-4 on page 3-9 and also
“DIMMs” on page 3-12.
