Installing the hardware
for the HP Jetdirect 200m and 250m print servers
Hardware installation for the Jetdirect 200m or 250m print server is very straightforward:
1. Set up the printer hardware. This step may vary among different printers, so check your
printer documentation (setup poster or quick start guide) for details.
Do not connect the printer to your computer using a USB or parallel cable -- you will make your
connection via the network in the next step.
If you encounter your printer's software CD as you set up your printer, keep it handy for use in
the software installation, later.
2. Connect the print server , as follows:
❍
Switch on the printer's power.
❍
Plug in the print server. Push it into the printer's LIO slot until it seats firmly and the
latches click into place.
❍
Plug in the network cable. The print server works with either 10Base-T (Ethernet) or
100Base-TX (Fast Ethernet) network cabling, and connects via twisted-pair cabling with
a standard (8-pin, RJ-45) connector. Plug one end of the cable into your network device
(a hub, switch, or router — if your network cabling is hidden in the walls, your
connection may be a wall outlet). Plug the other end into the print server.
