Introduction
The HP Jetdirect 615N/610N/600N family of internal print servers are network interface cards for HP Enhanced I/O (EIO) printers and MFP (multifunction peripheral) products. With an HP Jetdirect print server, you can connect and share your printer anywhere on your network and print at network speeds.
A typical network using an HP Jetdirect 615N/610N/600N print server is illustrated below. The card must first be installed into the printer and connected to the network. Then, you must configure the card for network operation.

Supported Printers
The HP Jetdirect 615N/610N/600N print servers are supported in all HP printers and multifunction peripheral devices (MFPs) with Enhanced Input/Output (EIO) slots, such as:
■HP LaserJet EIO printers and MFPs
■HP Color LaserJet EIO printers and MFPs
■HP DesignJet EIO large format printers
■HP Business InkJet EIO printers
For most of these printers, you can use the printer’s control panel to configure basic network parameters on the HP Jetdirect 615N/610N/600N internal print server. Refer to Appendix A.

Installing the Print Server
What You Need for Installation
●The proper HP Jetdirect print server, documentation, and software for your network.
●The proper network cables and connectors for connecting the card and printer to your network.
●A static-safe environment for handling the card.
CAUTION HP Jetdirect cards contain electronic components that can be damaged by static electricity through electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent ESD damage, maintain frequent contact with any bare sheet metal surface on the printer. A grounding wrist strap (or similar device) is useful for this purpose. Handle the card carefully at all times. Avoid touching electronic components or circuit paths.

Installing the Print Server 2-11 |
Step 1. Identify Your HP Jetdirect 615N/610N/600N Internal
Print Server
Remove the HP Jetdirect card from its packaging and verify that you have the correct card for your network.
HP J3110A (600N) for Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T networks (10 Mbps).
This card provides a single RJ-45 connector for networks that use unshielded twisted-pair cables.
HP J3111A (600N) for Ethernet, IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T/10Base-2 networks (10 Mbps), and LocalTalk networks.
This card provides an RJ-45 connector for networks that use unshielded twisted-pair cables, a BNC connector for ThinLAN coaxial cables, and a Mini-DIN 8 connector for a LocalTalk connector box.
You can use the LocalTalk port and only one Ethernet port: RJ-45 or BNC.
2-12 Installing the Print Server
ENWW
HP J4167A (610N) for Token Ring (IEEE 802.5) networks. A Data Rate switch selects operation for 4-Mbps or 16Mbps Token Ring networks.
This card provides an RJ-45 connector for networks that use unshielded twisted-pair cables, and a DB 9 connector for Type 1, 2 or 6 shielded twisted-pair cables.
Data Rate Switch
You can use only one Token Ring port: RJ-45 or DB 9.
HP J6057A (615N) or J4169A (610N) for Ethernet, IEEE 802.3 Type 10Base-T or IEEE 802.3u Type 100Base-TX networks.
The card autonegotiates operation at 10 or 100 Mbps, fullor half-duplex mode, but can be manually set through the printers control panel.
This card provides a single RJ-45 connector for networks that use unshielded twisted-pair cables.
To manually set link operation, see Appendix A.

Step 2. (J4167A Only) If Necessary, Set the Token Ring Data Rate Switch
●If you have an HP J4167A 610N Token Ring print server, you must set the Data Rate switches on the card to either 4 Mbps or 16 Mbps. The selection depends on the data rate of your Token Ring network.
