Precautions
Always observe the following general precautions when servicing the Fiery AR-PE2
assembly:
assembly:
1.
Never alter an existing network without permission.
The Fiery AR-PE2 is probably 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 permission of the network administrator.

networking hardware or software, or shutting down networked devices without the
knowledge and permission of the network administrator.
2.
Never assign an IP address in Network Setup.
Only the network administrator should assign an IP address on a network device.
Entering an incorrect IP address to the Fiery AR-PE2 can cause unpredictable errors on
any or all devices.

Precautions
Static is always a concern when servicing electronic devices. It is highly unlikely that the
area around the copier 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
wristband, grounded at the same place as the antistatic mat. If that is not possible:

• Attach a grounding strap to your wrist. Attach the other end to a good ground.
• When you remove an electronic component, place it into an antistatic bag
immediately. Do not walk across a carpet or vinyl floor while carrying an unprotected
board.
board.
• Leave new electronic components inside their antistatic bags until you are ready to
install them.
• When you unpack the electronic components, touch a metal area of the copier to
discharge the static on your body. Place the components on a grounded antistatic
surface, component-side up.

Avoid flexing a printed circuit board, and handle it by opposing edges (not corners) only.
5.
Never set a cup of coffee—or any liquid—on or near any components or the print device.
