This is just a quick note to thank everyone in this thread. Helped us at my shop quite a bit when the error showed up out of the blue.
Just an added note: in our case our machine had a 2017 pcb and only needed the fiber-optic cable replaced. the date should be printed on the board so that might help lower the shopping list for some.
also we added an extra cable protective sleeve, can't say for sure if that will help in the long run but it at least doesn't seem to have effected performance.

The very same error on our machine at the moment. 70 percent through a job then a hard stop (as if the emergency stop button was pressed) then the heads let go of their bowels on the print media. This has me thinking that the optical cable isn't to blame; as, surely, the heads wouldn't just dump their load if NOT for a HDC PCB failure?
Hi guys, just to keep all informed, I just replaced the optical cable and the printer booted right back up first go.
Confirming that:
Printer was mid-job when it errored to SYSTEM HALT (6) Code 811: FW/SIO read. Heads dumped onto workpiece, upon reboot error code: SYSTEM HALT (1) 181
CB H21 and thats as far as it would go.
The fix: Replace Optical Cable Time: 1.5 hours.
Power off and unplug power from printer.
Remove front lower panel under capping station.
Align heads over caps, manually turn serpentine belt to raise the caps onto the heads
Remove carriage cover
Locate optical cable (see pic)
Open up the magnetic interference cylinder (grey)
Unscrew both left and right cover from the flexible conduit that runs down the back of the scan axis gantry. Looking from the back of the printer, the right cover will remove completely, the left cover you want to leave in place just unscrewed.
Remove the REAR lower panel from the back side of the capping station
Lift optical fibre cap straight up and off the board in the carriage to disconnect
trace it back through from the carriage, into the conduit, down the gantry, around the beige clip retainer, then BACK down the gantry to to under the left conduit cover (just lift it up for access, don't remove it)
Trace it down into the rear lower compartment, undo the retaining clips and remove the other end from the circuit board.
Installation is the exact reverse. You would want to loosely install the cable from the carriage to the lower PCB to test-boot before threading the cable through for a full installation.
I've HEARD that it's doable to affix one cable end to the other and thread through, but I was absolutely not going to do that with a delicate $500 cable. Way too many snags in the route.
Note: There are two versions of the optical cable: The one I have is the new version (in pics) the older version has black plastic ends but is the same removal.
Have fun out there~
