Apple 12/600PS manual Adding an internal hard disk

Adding an internal hard disk

To create additional space to store fonts in your Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS, you can purchase an internal hard disk. To install the internal hard disk, you remove the controller board from the printer, connect the hard disk to the board, and replace the board in the printer. Be sure to wear a grounding wrist strap when working on the controller board. If you can’t find the grounding wrist strap that comes with the internal hard disk, you can purchase one from a computer dealer.

IMPORTANT These instructions explain how to install an internal hard disk yourself. You can also contact an Apple-authorized dealer who can install your internal hard disk for a service fee.

WARNING Make sure the printer is turned off and plugged in (for grounding).

1If necessary, turn the printer so that the rear (opposite the side with the Apple logo and printer’s name) is accessible.

Get help moving the printer. It takes at least two people to move it safely.

2Remove the two screws that hold the controller board in place.

WARNING When installing the hard drive, avoid touching the surface of the printer’s controller board with hands or tools to avoid damaging or scratching the printed circuits.
