Controller Board - Ricoh RW-7140 PLOTBASE Instructions D'installation

Controller Board

The software only works, if the controller board is installed. To do it install the controller board and the appropriate
software.
Installation of controller
Note: The controller board is - like all other high integrated circuits - sensitive to electrostatic charge.
Therefore, remove the controller carefully from the shipping container and do only touch it at the side or at
the bracket. Do never touch any of the circuits on the controller with your fingers. If you need to do so, touch
a metal object before you touch the controller.
1. Before you install the controller switch off your PC that is provided for PLOTBASE.
2. Disconnect the power plug.
3. Select a free PCIe slot (X1) as mentioned above.
4. Insert the controller into the PCIe slot and fasten the fixing screw. Make sure the controller is sitting well, no
components touch surrounding cards or the case and that the fixing screw is set properly.
5. Re-mount the PC case.
6. Install the security bracket (PC).
7. Connect the RJ45 cable to the plotter, see below section "Connection of PLOTBASE PC to plotter".
