Summary

Read first
The integrated circuits of board are easily damaged by static electricity. Be sure to make the following

precautions before you change any setting:

 Before installing the controller board, please put it in an anti-static mat or anti-static bag.

 When handling the controller board, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors

 It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic components

such as a controller board. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your hands dry and first touch

a metal object to eliminate static electricity.

 Prior to installation, make sure the chassis is suitable for the controller board.

 Prior to installation, do not remove or break controller board S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty

sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation

 Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing

or removing the controller board or other hardware components.

 When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the controller board, make

sure they are connected tightly and securely

 To prevent damage to the controller board, do not allow screws to come in contact with the controller

board circuit or its components

 Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the controller board or within

the printer casing.

 Turning on the power during the installation process can lead to damage to system components as

well as physical harm to the user

 If you use an adapter, extension power cable, or power strip, ensure to consult with its installation

and/or grounding instructions
