This Getting Started Guide contains instructions for the installation and configuration of the
Splash M Series Color Server and the client workstations on your network. Follow these
instructions each time you set up the Splash M Series Color Server in a different location,
connect it to a different network, or connect it to a different color copier.
The Splash M Series Color Server comes standard with a 10/100base T network card, which
you can connect to standard Ethernet (10baseT) or Fast Ethernet networks (100baseT). The
color server automatically configures the card for Fast Ethernet if Fast Ethernet is detected.
Do not use a cross-over cable to connect your workstation directly to the Splash M Series. If
you need a direct connection, use a mini-hub.
