Memory-controller PCA CAUTION PCAs are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Look for the ESD reminder when removing PCAs. Always perform service work at an ESD-protected workstation or mat. If an ESD workstation or mat is not available, ground yourself by touching the sheet-metal chassis before touching an ESD-sensitive part. Protect the ESD-sensitive parts by placing them in ESD pouches when they are out of the printer. 1. Remove the following components: ● Fuser. See Fuser on page 115. ● Upper cover. See Upper cover (fuser door) on page 100. ● Rear lower cover. See Rear lower cover on page 103. ● Left cover. See Left cover on page 104. ● Right cover. See Right cover on page 107. ● Rear upper cover. See Rear upper cover on page 111. 2. Remove one FFC (callout 1) from the cable guide (callout 2). CAUTION Do not bend or fold the FFCs during removal or installation. 1 2 Figure 5-81 Remove the memory-controller PCA (1 of 2) 152 Chapter 5 Removal and replacement ENWW
