Microtech Xpress XL User manual

Xpress Hardware Assembly Guide (includes XE, XP, and XL)

•These instructions show how toassemble an Xpress systems out of the box.

•Although the picturesshow the Xpress XP model, the procedure isvery similar for the XE and XL models except where noted.

•No tools aremandatoryfor this procedure (flat-head screwdriver is optional).

•For XE systems, which arrive partially assembled,skip tostep‘13’.

Remove the rear panelfrom the back of the drive

enclosure (upper base assembly) by unscrewing the (2)

thumbscrews-XL has (3). Place the drive enclosure on top

of the base unit so it sits flush and even on all sides.

Secure the drive enclosure to the base unit using the (6)

thumbscrews inside of the drive enclosure. Tighteneach

screw partially first until all are threaded. Then proceed to

tighten each of the (6) screws completely.

Connect the power tail from the drives to the power

connector coming from the base unit power supply. These

connectors are color-coded for simplicity.

NOTE: For XL systemsthese cables are already

connected, so you may skip this step.

Place the base unit on a sturdy work surface, keeping in

mind that the printers on most systems willprotrude off the

back of the unit approximately 6–8 inches.

Connect the power lead from the drive enclosure fans to

the matching power connector from the power supply on

the base unit. Again, these connectors are color-coded.

Mount the elevator assembly onto the Xpress base.

Lower the elevator onto the two alignment pins…

… then secure the elevator with the (2) thumbscrews

from inside the drive enclosure behind the elevator.

HINT: The thumbscrews may go in easier if you pull up on

the elevator slightly while tightening the screws.

Route the SATA drive cables from the base unit up to

the drive enclosure, and connect each to its respective

drive. The cables are tied so that each goes to a specific

drive.

Connect the roboticscontrol and printer controlcables to the back of the elevator. These are the graycables thatcome

from behind the two fans on the drive enclosure, near the printer control and host communication ports. Just follow the

above diagram and remember that each plug is unique and keyed so that it is not possible to plug one into the wrong port.

Unscrew the wing-nut from the hoist block. Mountthe

arm by lining up the pegs on the arm beam to the holes in

the hoistblock. Secure the arm with the wing-nut. If the

wing-nut does not fit, try rotating the hoist block 180

degrees.

Xpress XL

Connect the flat-flex cable between the elevator and

the arm. When doing this, carefully line up the connector

with the receptacle and push until you hear a ‘click’.

To install the printer plate (onto which the printer is

mounted on), place it on top of the drive enclosure so that

the pins are facing up and the (2) tabs go into the slots on

the right side of the drive enclosure. Secure the plate with

the (2) wing-nuts.

Place the printer on top of the printer plate so that the

pins on the plate go intothe holes underneath the printer

itself or into the holes ofthe attachment already affixed to

the printer. The printer should sit flat and level on top of

the printer plate.

NOTE: The TEAC K2 printer has a latch knob located on

the front of the printer plate. Once the printer and plate are

securelymounted, releasing this latch (pull) will allow the

printer to move to the right to allow the user to open the

side panel of the printer without interference from other

modules. When first installing this printer, be sure the plate

is in the left-most position and thelatch is in the locked

position.

Connect the USB cable from the printer (all models) to

the labeled USB port on the base unit. For easy

installation, it is recommended that you plug the USB cable

into the port labeled for that cable. The other ports are

designated for different devices.

NOTE: TheUSB ports and positions on your system may

differ from those in the photo. Please follow the port

labeling on your particular system.

Replace the rear cover panel on the drive enclosure

using the (2) thumbscrews-XL has(3).

(PRISM PRINTER ONLY)Connect the other end of

the serial cable to the COM1 port on the base unit. For XL

systems, the cables should be labeled.

( XPRESSJET II PRINTER ONLY ) Connect the

serial (PS2 to PS2) cable to the back of the printer. For XL

systems, each cable should be labeled-simply match the

numbers to the corresponding ports and printers.

( TEAC K2 PRINTER ONLY ) Connect theserial

(PS2 to PS2) cable to the Status Aux port on the printer.

For XL systems, each cable should be labeled-simply

match the numbers to the corresponding ports and printers.

(PRISM PRINTER ONLY)Connect the serial (DB9

to PS2) cable to the back of the printer. For XL systems,

each cable should be labeled-simply match the numbers to

the corresponding ports and printers.

Connect the serial (DB9M to DB9F) cable(withserial-

to-USB adapter)to the port labeled ‘Host Communication’

on the back ofthe drive enclosure.

NOTE: For XEsystemsthe Host Communication is

internal, so you may skip this step.

Connect the serial-to-USB adapter end of the host

communication cable to the USB port on the base unit

labeled ‘Host Communication’.

NOTE: TheUSB ports and positions on your system may

differ from thosein the photo. Please follow the port

labeling on your particular system.

For XEsystemsthe Host Communication is internal, so you

may skip this step.

Remove the USB software key from the instruction

manual package (carton containingfolder andsoftware

envelopes). Insert this key into the designated USB slot.

( XPRESSJET IIand TEAC K2 PRINTER ONLY )

Connect the other end of the serial cable to the Printer

Control port on theback of thedrive enclosure. For XL

systems, the cables should be labeled.

Plug the power cords into the base unit, printer(s), and

upper base unit on XL systems only. If the power supply

on the base unit (or upper base) has a power switch, switch

itto the ‘ON’ position.

Place the tall spindles onto the base unit according to

the cut-outs. Each spindle is identical except for the short

‘reject’ spindle-which goes on the right. On the XL, these

smaller spindlesgo in spaces ‘L’ and ‘R’.

If your system has a 2-drive module (XP), mount it on

the left side of the upper base. Place the module about ½

inch back from the front, insert the tab underneath the

module into the slot on the top/ front of the upper base.

Lower the back of the 2-drive module onto the rear tab, and

slide the module forward so that the front is aligned with the

main drive enclosure. Secure the 2-drive module with the

thumbscrew on the back of the unit.

Connect the module to the base unit using the (2) e-SATA

cablessupplied. The ports should be labeled on both sides

to show which e-SATA port each drive plugsinto. Connect

the power cordto the 2-drive module.

Unpackage the flat-panel monitor and connect the

VGA cable from the monitor to the back of the base unit.

For ‘ImageAligner 2’Only:

You are almost there…

Once all hardware set-up is complete, proceed to the Xpress Hardware Manual for calibration and testing.

Attach the camera mount plate/ light shield assembly to

the arm by lining up the (2) pins and (1) mounting screw

with the holes on the boom arm. Secure with the (1) wing-

nut on top of the arm.

NOTE: The thumbscrew on the plate should face theback.

iii

Secure the IA2 camera to the mount plate by screwing

the thumbscrew into the TOP hole on the back of the IA2

camera. When positioning the camera, be sure that the

camera is pointing perpendicular to the printer plate-not to

the arm or any other mounting hardware.

Connect the USB cable from the IA2 camera tothe

labeled USB port on the rear of the Xpress base unit.

Secure the USB cable to the boom arm using the clips that

are attached to the arm.

Mount the boom arm using the (3) wing-nuts. For XL

systems, there are separate ‘left’ and ‘right’ arms-just

make sure that the arm is ‘pointing’ forward on each side.
