16-Mbyte RAM SIMM Installation -- (4685F16)

Only proprietary Tektronix RAM SIMMs will operate correctly in Tektronix Color printers.

Static electricity precautions

  • Leave the printer plugged into its power outlet; this preserves a ground path for static discharges.
  • Touch the printer's bare metal frame often to discharge static electricity from your body.
  • Handle the circuit board(s) by their edges only.
  • Do not lay the board(s) on a metal surface.
  • Make the least possible movements to avoid generating static electricity.
  • Avoid wearing wool, nylon or polyester clothing; they generate static electricity.

RAM installation

  1. Power down the printer. Leave the power cord plugged in to provide a ground path for static discharges. Remove the interface cables.
  2. Loosen the two rear panel securing screws.
  3. Slide out the main board.
  4. If a RAM SIMM, such a a 4-Mbyte RAM SIMM, is already installed in the RAM SIMM connector, labeled J20, it must be removed. Metal pawls at each end of the RAM SIMM connector secure the RAM SIMM in the connector. Gently spread the metal pawls outward to free the RAM SIMM.
  5. Insert the 16-Mbyte RAM SIMM in connector J20 (a), and tilt the module down until it locks in place (b).

    When properly inserted, a tab on each end of the connector slips into a hole on each end of the RAM SIMM. Also, a pawl on each end of the connector latches around each end of the RAM SIMM to lock it in place.
  6. Reinstall the main board into the printer.
  7. Reconnect the host interface cables. Turn on the printer and print the startup page; it indicates the amount of RAM installed in the printer. Refer to the Phaser 350 User Manual for details on printing the startup page. Update your host computer's printer driver; this involves configuring the printer driver residing on your computer. Refer to the user manual.
