Installing network cards
The following section explains how to install either an Ethernet (KX-PNBC5)
or Token Ring (KX-PNBC6) card (illustrated below) on the KX-PS8100. It
also describes how to configure the printer Setup when the new network
card has been installed.
To install the network card you will need to do the following:
•Remove the printer controller board from the back of the printer.
•Install the network card on the printer controller board.
•Replace the printer controller board.
•Configure the printer’s network setup.
IMPORTANT:
•To prevent static electricity damage to certain components (see
page 272), touch a grounded metal surface, such as the printer’s bare
metal frame prior to touching the component.
•Ethernet (KX-PNBC5) or Token Ring (KX-PNBC6) card
CAUTIONS:
•Do not drop or bend the network card.
•Do not touch the connector of the network card.
•Protect the network card from static electricity by keeping it in its anti-
static package until you are ready to install it.
•Avoid exposing the network card to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or
humidity.
Before you begin this procedure, remove the printer controller board from
the printer. For instructions, see “Removing and replacing the printer
controller board” on page 273.
