1 Upgrading the Fiery CS IC-310 to system software version 2.0 Overview This document describes how to upgrade the Fiery CS IC-310 to system software, version 2.0. Notify the site administrator that some archived jobs may no longer print after you install system software, version 2.0. NOTE: The term Fiery Color Server is used in this document to refer to the Fiery CS IC-310. Contents of this kit Procedures In addition to this document, this kit contains: Four 2GB DIMMs for upgrading the memory from 8GB to 16GB. License Activation Code for activating the system software version 2.0 after installation. Additional documents Media Package System Software DVDs system software, version 2.0 for installation on the Fiery Color Server, including Windows 7 operating system. User Software DVD user software for installation on client computers. The following list is a summary; see the complete procedures in the following pages. To upgrade the Fiery Color Server, perform the following procedures in the order shown. 1 Back up the current system settings and verify the system version (see page 2). 2 Install the additional DIMMs (see page 3). 3 Install system software (see page 4). Installing system software deletes everything on the HDD (hard disk drive). Coordinate with the network administrator at the customer site before installing system software. 4 Activate the license (see page 6). 5 Verify the product upgrade (see page 6) Electronics For Imaging 16 December * *

2 2 TO BACK UP THE CURRENT SYSTEM SETTINGS AND VERIFY THE SYSTEM VERSION 1 Ask the network administrator to archive any jobs that the customer wants to keep. The network administrator should save the jobs to removable media or a location on the network, so that the jobs can be imported back into the Fiery Color Server queue after software installation. 2 If you have not done so already, allow the network administrator the opportunity to print the Job Log and save any custom simulation and output profiles. If possible, print the following: Configuration page lists any installed options and records the customer s current Setup configuration so that it can be restored after the software installation. Font List lists the fonts currently on the HDD. Along with the fonts provided in the system software, the customer may have installed additional fonts. 3 On the Configuration page, verify the system version. Look for the Version and Memory field in the Fiery Server section of the Configuration page. If the Version shows 2.0 and the Memory (MB) is around 16011, this system has been upgraded and you do not need to upgrade. Tips for DIMM installation The motherboard has 16 DIMM sockets organized into two sets, as shown in Figure 1. Set 1 Set 0 H1 H0 G1 G0 A0 A1 B0 B1 CPU 1 CPU 0 F1 F0 E1 E0 D1 D0 C1 C0 FIGURE 1: Motherboard DIMM sockets

3 3 The Fiery Color Server standard configuration provides four 2GB DIMMs, for a total of 8GB of memory (Socket A0, B0, E0, and F0 are occupied). Use the following tips when you install the additional DIMMs provided with this kit. If the current system has the standard configuration (8GB), install four additional DIMMs into the blue sockets (C0, D0, G0, and H0). If the current system has non-standard configuration, see the following table to determine the available slots.

To access the DIMM sockets on the motherboard, you must remove the left panel. 2 Locate the four 2GB DIMMs provided in this upgrade kit.

4 4 3 Install the DIMMs in the four empty DIMM sockets on the motherboard (see page 3). Close the levers at each side of the socket to lock the DIMM into place. NOTE: The socket is keyed so that the DIMM fits only one way. (See the notches in the following figure.) Make sure that the entire length of the DIMM (ends and center) is fully seated in the socket and that the levers close securely around the ends of the DIMM.
