CHAPTER 4: Installation

4. Installation

CAUTION!

The HPIIISi Twinax Card is static-sensitive. Make sure you do not damage the Card with static electricity. Take precautions as you would with any static-sensitive device:

Be aware that some work surroundings, such as carpet, floor mats, dry air from winter heating, etc., can cause static buildup.

If one is available, wear a wrist strap or similar static-discharge device during installation. If you are not wearing a wrist strap, touch a grounded surface (such as an exposed twinax connector on a cable attached to the host) before handling the card.

If you have one, stand on an anti-static work surface when handling the card.

Do not touch components on the card. Handle the card by the edges only.

Table 4-1. Recommended Device IDs.

Host System	Emulation	Device ID
System/34	3812	5224 (2P), 5225 (2P), 5219 (3P)
System/36	3812	5219
System/38	3812	3812-1

Before you install the Card in your printer, you must configure the IBM host with a cable address and device ID for the printer. See your system operator or system manuals for details. Table 4-1 below shows the recommended device ID on the different host systems.

NOTE

On AS/400 systems, you can run AUTOCONFIG, which works with the HPIIISi Twinax Card.

You should keep the following in mind when selecting the emulation:

•The 3812 emulation only supports HP laser-printer commands.

•Support for letter-quality printers on a System 34 as a 5219 can be used, but is limited.
