1. What is RoHS?
The RoHS (pronounced “Rose”) Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain
hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". This Directive bans the
placing on the European (EU) market of new electrical and electronic equipment
containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium,
polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame
retardants.
Manufacturers need to understand the requirements of the RoHS Directive to ensure
that their products, and their components, comply.
Going forward, Oki has implemented changes to accommodate the EU laws. These
changes affect the parts in all printers and fax machines.
2. Identifying a RoHS compliant unit
The RoHS compliant ES3640MFP units will have the same product name as the original
version as well as the same part number. The only way to distinguish between the two
units is to perform a visual inspection.
2.1 Serial Number
A RoHS vs. Non-RoHS unit can be identified by the alpha character in the S/N:
Non-RoHS RoHS
-
AExxxxxxxxA0
AExxxxxxxxB0
2.2 Network Interface
The Network Interface is now “on board’ the CU Board. On the Non-RoHS units the
Network Interface was a daughter board (socketed) and could be removed. On the new
RoHS units the Network Interface is soldered and is no longer removable.

2.3 Network Interface Location
The image shown below is of the current Non-RoHS ES3640 CU board “Aspen”, note the
location of the Network interface is towards the top of the board.
Non-RoHS Compliant Board
The image below shows a RoHS compliant unit “Aspen-2”, note the location of the
Network interface is now towards the middle of the board right next to the thumbscrew
of the “BYN” (MFP) Board.
RoHS Compliant Board
Also it can be seen that
the RoHS Board has 3
sets of vent grilles above
the Network interface,
where the Non-RoHS only
has one above.

What is a “Clipped HDD”?
In the original Non-RoHS ES3640’s the maximum storage area available to the Fiery
System was 20GB. When Oki Data was no longer able to source 20GB HDD’s, we
switched to a 40GB HDD but “clipped” it so that only 20GB was available for use. With
the new F/W required for the RoHS units, all 40GB of storage space is now available for
use by the Fiery System Software.

RoHS (“Aspen2” or “ASP2” Board)
Obvious visible differences between the two boards:
− The RoHS board has the letters “AS2” clearly marked on the upper right hand
corner of the board
− The RoHS board has added large silver heatsink in addition to the black
heatsink, where the Non-RoHS only has the black heatsink
− The RoHS board has an integrated Network Interface, where the Non-RoHS unit
has a socketed NIC

4. FAQ Section
If an HDD in a Non-RoHS printer is replaced with a RoHS HDD what will happen?
The message “Checking system please wait 5 minutes” will be displayed followed by
“Communication error” and the system will not boot.
If an HDD in a RoHS printer is replaced with a Non-RoHS HDD what will happen?
The message “Checking system please wait 5 minutes” will be displayed followed by
“Communication error” and the system will not boot.
Is all 40GB of hard drive space now available to the RoHS unit?
Yes, the HDD is no longer being clipped as it was in Non-RoHS units which means that
all 40GB of space is available to the system. (Note: some space will be utilized by the
system software just as the Non-RoHS units)
If a GA HDD (RoHS) is replaced with a Std HDD (RoHS) what will happen?
If the new HDD image detects a GA activated Key Chip on the CU Board, it will become a
GA HDD. The boot sequence will take slightly longer during the conversion process.
If a STD HDD (RoHS) is replaced with a GA HDD (RoHS) what will happen?
The error message “Communication Error” will appear and the system will not fully boot.
It is necessary to replace a Std HDD with another Std HDD, it cannot be replaced with a
GA HDD.
