CHAPTER 4: Installation
4. Installation
CAUTION!
The HPIIISi Twinax Card is static-sensitive. Make sure you do not
damage the Card with static electricity. Take precautions as you would
with any static-sensitive device:
Be aware that some work surroundings, such as carpet, floor mats, dry
air from winter heating, etc., can cause static buildup.
If one is available, wear a wrist strap or similar static-discharge device
during installation. If you are not wearing a wrist strap, touch a
grounded surface (such as an exposed twinax connector on a cable
attached to the host)
before
handling the card.
If you have one, stand on an anti-static work surface when handling the
card.
Do not touch components on the card. Handle the card by the edges
only.

Before you install the Card in your printer, you must configure the IBM host with
a cable address and device ID for the printer. See your system operator or system
manuals for details. Table 4-1 below shows the recommended device ID on the
different host systems.
NOTE
On AS/400 systems, you can run AUTOCONFIG, which works with the
HPIIISi Twinax Card.
You should keep the following in mind when selecting the emulation:
• The 3812 emulation only supports HP laser-printer commands.
• Support for letter-quality printers on a System 34 as a 5219 can be used,
but is limited.
