Installing a SIMM

Important

Follow the instructions for handling static-sensitive devices described on page 127.

Attention: Printer power should be off before performing this procedure.

Use the following procedure to install a SIMM:

1. The controller card must be removed before installing a SIMM. Follow the procedure “Removing the Controller Card” on page 129.

2. Locate the correct socket

group

for

the

type

of

SIMM

you

 

are

installing. There a

two

socket

groups:

one

contains two

sockets, the

other contains

four

sockets. The

DRAM

SIMMs

(memory)

must be installed

in

one

of

the

sockets in

the

socket

 

group of two. The data stream SIMMs and the flash

memory

SIMMs

must be

 

installed in one of

the

sockets

in

the socket

group

of

four.

 

 

 

 

SIMMs should be loaded from the left

to

the

right

but

the

position

of

the SIMM

within the

group

of sockets

does

not

matter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note:

Early

printers

may

have

the

PCL5e

SIMM

already

installed

in

socket

0.

If

the SIMM is not installed, PCL5e data stream support

is

integrated

into the

controller

card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Hold the SIMM with the notch facing up

and to the left.

Insert the SIMM at a

45

degree angle and move it into position in

the

socket. Using

your thumbs, press

 

with even pressure on both ends of the

SIMM

until the SIMM

is firmly seated in

the

socket.
