HPIIISi TWINAX CARD
No special training is needed to install the Card. A Phillips and a flat-blade
screwdriver are the only tools you’ll need. If you need assistance, call your
supplier.
4.1 Putting the Card into the Printer
Take the following steps to install the Card in your printer. Consult your
HP printer’s operator’s manual for more information.
1.
Power on the printer and perform a one-page self-test as described in
the HP printer’s manual. Do not continue until the printer passes the
self-test.
2.
Remove the power cord and any cables attached to the printer.
CAUTION!
The Card is static-sensitive. Follow the static-sensitivity instructions
listed at the beginning of this chapter.
3.
If you will be installing the Card in an HP LaserJet IIISi, remove the
serial/parallel card (or any other MIO card installed in the printer) by
loosening the screws at either end of the bracket. Store the old card in
the HPIIISi Twinax Card’s package for future use.
The HP LaserJet 4 and 5 series of laser printers have a cover placed
over the MIO expansion slot. If you will be installing the Card in one
of these models, remove the slot cover by loosening the screws at
either end of the bracket.
NOTE
The HPIIISi Twinax Card can be installed in the upper MIO slot on the HP
4Si and 4SiMX with an optional bracket. The Card is shipped configured
to fit into the lower MIO slot. If you need to install the Card in the upper
MIO slot, call your supplier.
4.
While the Card is still in its anti-static bag, place it next to your printer.
5.
Place the twinax cable from the host computer on top of the anti-static
bag; make sure the metal connector on the cable is in contact with the
bag.
6.
Remove the Card from the bag and place it on top of the bag next to
the twinax cable.
7.
Pick up the Card by its edges, and align it with the connector inside
the printer.
8.
Place the bottom of the Card in the plastic card guide inside the
printer.
9.
Slide the Card into place, passing the interface bracket by the
grounding fingers on the printer slowly, so you don’t loosen them.
