Hard disk drive
The factory-installed hard disk drive (HDD) is formatted and loaded with all
Fiery AR-PE2 software, including operating software, system software, network drivers,

kits and are also included in this guide.
If you are replacing the HDD, you need:
• The appropriate System Software CD
• The latest version of user software (for networked computers that will be printing to
the Fiery AR-PE2)
Proper handling
Handle the HDD with care:
• Use proper ESD practices when grounding yourself and the Fiery AR-PE2.
• Keep magnets and magnetic-sensitive objects away from the HDD.
• Do not remove the screws on top of the HDD. Loosening these screws voids the
warranty.
• Never drop, jar, or bump the HDD.
• Handle the HDD by its sides and avoid touching the printed circuit board assembly.
• Allow the HDD to reach room temperature before installation.
HDD problems may be a result of the following:
• Loose or faulty connection
• Faulty HDD
Before you decide that the HDD needs to be replaced, make sure that all cables are
connected properly.
connected properly.
If the HDD needs to be replaced, you’ll need to install the system software on the new
HDD. (Replacement HDDs are shipped without Fiery AR-PE2 system software
installed.) Make sure you use an ESD grounding wrist strap and follow standard ESD
(electrostatic discharge) precautions before handling Fiery AR-PE2 components.
