when replacing data relevant boards.

2. Background

What are Data Relevant boards ?

• Solid State Drive Board > SSDB

• Multifunctional Printer Board > MFPB
• Printer Control Board > PRCB
• Multi Functional Device > MFD (the machine itself)

Difference between Amur/Donau series and Minerva/Zeus series

• NVRAM
Amur/Donau > replaceable
Minerva/Zeus > not replaceable, integrated into MFPB
• EEPROM ( Service EPROM )
Amur/Donau > replaceable
Minerva/Zeus > not replaceable, integrated into PRCB
• SSDB

• serial number of machine
• serial number of the installed PRC-Board

• serial number of the installed SSD-Board
• step by step description of the actions which has been done by the technician
including background information why the related boards has been replaced or
swapped

C 4802
Cause
1.) MFP detects replacement of PRCB and demanding an restore of

3.) How to swap MFPB and SSD as a set

• install giving MFPB and SSDB as a set

borrowed

1. Prepare a USB pen with firmware

borrowed

MFPB 2. Mount the borrowed board set to

SSDB the machine

3. Plug USB pen with firmware to

service slot and switch the device on

h ine

sh 4. Select [Machine] and [Type] and
cra
make correct settings (SM)

5. install firmware

It could be, that it‘s not possible to enter CE Mode or Admin Settings
> enter CE mode via trouble reset mode if necessary

If the machine is now working again, the fault is either the MFPB or the SSDB.

Install at first the original SSD Board to identify which of the two boards is defective and
perform the following procedure

!!Attention you can overwrite the original counter data if you not
follow the recommend procedure!!
 Konica Minolta Confidential

Therefore, to prevent to overwrite the counters at SSD Board:

• check the original SSD Board

borrowed

1.) Mount the original SSDB

original

2.) Before power “on” the machine,

plug the USB pen with the MFP
SSDB Board reset tool
MFPB

3.) Power On the machine and

perform the MFP Board reset

e
chin 4.) Power Off the machine and plug
a
e dm MFPB RESET TOOL USB pen with firmware to service
h slot and switch the device on
c ras

5. install firmware

Now you can decide if the MFPB or the SSDB is the faulty one

• If the machine is not working, the SSD Board is defective. Please follow the known
order procedure at CSES.

• If the machine is working, the MFP Board is defective.

In very rar cases it can be that only a data integrity problem of the data
stored in the MFPB-NVRAM is the reason behind, so we recommended a cross
check of the MFPB
 Konica Minolta Confidential

11/16

• crosscheck the original MFP Board

it‘s important to verify in beforehand that the SSD Board is really OK

1.) Mount the original SSDB

5. install firmware

If the machine is working, bad data were stored at the NVRAM.

This was solved by reset.

If the machine is not working the MFPB Board is defect

To save time at customer side it is also possible to leave the working borrowed board
into the machine and them check the defective board at the workshop.

Remark: Never use the MFP Board Reset Tool in the first step in a
trouble shooting process.

Use the reset tool only if you are sure that the SSD Board is not
defective or to reset an MFP Board after repair process for future use
as spare part.

The counter values are stored at the MFPB and saved at the SSDB.

You will lose the counter data, if you reset the MFPB and SSDB is the
faulty board.

1.) If the counter values at the MFPB are higher than the
SSDB, the SSDB values will be overwritten

• Before installing a PRCB for testing check at the original PRCB the ICP‘s with a
voltmeter

To prevent to damage a second PRCB check the ICP‘s to recognise if a harness is

broken and a short-circuit is the possible root cause

A complete list of ICP‘s you can find in the Service Manual
