• Turn OFF the main power and unplug the power cord from the wall socket. If installing without turning OFF the main power, an electric shock or a malfunction may occur.

You can only install one of the following network interfaces at a time:

  • File Format Converter
  • IEEE 1284 Interface Board
  • IEEE 802.11a/g/n Interface Unit
  • USB Device Server Option
  • Extended USB board

 

  • When you install this option on the main machine for the first time, the interface board must be connected directly to your PC to set up the IP address and other network settings.

  1. Remove the upper left cover [A].
  2. Open the front cover, and then remove the left cover [A].
  3. Cut off the USB port cover [A] with nippers or other such tool.
  4. Reattach the left cover and upper left cover.
  5. Remove the interface slot cover [A].
  6. Insert the interface board [A] in the interface slot and then fasten it with screws.

  7. Insert the USB cable into the USB port (Type A) [A] on the main machine, and insert the other side of the USB cable into the USB port (Type B) [B] on this option.

  8. Attach the ferrite cores to the Ethernet cable, while looping the cable at 3 cm (approx. 1.2 inch) [A] from the each end of the cable.

  9. Only for installing this option in North America, bind both cores with cable ties [A] as shown below.

  10. Insert the Ethernet cable [A] into the Ethernet port on this option.
  11. Insert the other end of the Ethernet cable to a PC for network setting.

  12. Plug the power cord and turn ON the power.

    • Do not unplug the USB cable while the machine is recognizing this option. It may take between 30 seconds to 1 minute to finish recognizing it (the LEDs on the Ethernet port of this option light up after recognizing this option; see below). If unplugged, connect the cable again.

  13. Make sure that the machine recognizes this option correctly by doing one of the following:
    1. Access the option’s IP address from a web browser.
    2. Ping the option’s IP address from a command prompt on a Windows PC in the same network as the mainframe.
      If the IP address cannot be found (DHCP server), use the MAC address. This is the number printed on the seal attached to the printed circuit board for the USB server.
    3. Use “RX” + the option’s MAC address and access a web browser.
      Example: http://RX0080926A3264
    4. Ping the “RX” + “MAC address” from the command prompt, on a windows PC which is on the same network as the mainframe.

    • When installing the USB Device Server Option Type M19, the installation status is not shown on the Configuration Page.
