3- Installing BarDIMM Pro or BarDIMM Box

3-1 – BarDIMM Pro memory board for hp printers

This paragraph is only applicable to BarDIMM Pro on memory boards. For the BarDIMM
Box, please refer to the next sub-chapter.
Please verify that the BarDIMM you are installing is compatible with your printer model.
Your HP LaserJet / Business Ink Jet has from two to four internal DIMM (Dual Inline
Memory Module), CompactFlash™ or USB slots. The BarDIMM Pro board can be
installed in any of these slots. Because the slots are close together, we recommend
installing them from right to left or bottom to top (depending on the printer), starting with
the slot 1.

Protecting the DIMM Board

DIMM boards can easily be damaged by small amounts of static electricity. To remove
any static electricity from your body touch the surface of the antistatic package before
removing the board from its package. When handling the board, frequently touch bare
metal on the printer or the antistatic bag or wear an antistatic wrist strap.
Avoid moving around the work area to prevent static electricity to be generated.
Do not touch the BarDIMM components, and handle the DIMM carefully at all times.

When provided as a DIMM BarDIMM Pro has to be installed exactly like a RAM
SIMM/DIMM board. When provided on a CompactFlash or USB card, BarDIMM Pro is
installed on the printer main board. Please refer to your HP LaserJet / Business Ink Jet user
manual for the DIMM, CompactFlash or USB modules installation procedure.

If your printer is equipped with a control panel, once the BarDIMM is installed you must
configure the FREESCAPE character as detailed in Chapter 7.

CAUTION:

When removing a board from the antistatic bag, do not touch the metal traces on the
board.

WARNING:

Hazardous voltages are present in the printer. Never remove any access cover or work near
exposed electrical parts while power is connected.

NOTE:

Your BarDIMM comes with a special sticker in the box
(in English, German, French or Dutch). This sticker must be

applied on the printer

,

next to the power switch

.

This makes sure that maintenance will move the BarDIMM
to a replacement unit, should your printer be replaced.
