Installing the Gigabit Ethernet Board

Important

  • Before beginning work, ground yourself by touching something metal to discharge any static electricity. Static electricity can damage the board.

  • Do not subject the board to physical shocks.

  • The printer's Ethernet and USB ports are not available when the Gigabit Ethernet board is attached to the printer. Use the Ethernet and USB ports on the Gigabit Ethernet board.
