2-2 Hardware Installation
4. For the 300X or 500X Ethernet print servers (J3263A or 
J3265A), verify that the auto-negotiation switches are in their 
default positions—all down. (For other options, see page 1-9.)

Note
In the following steps, the circled numbers 
correspond to those in Figure 2.2. The HP JetDirect 
300X, 170X, and EX Plus have one printer port ➌. 
The HP JetDirect 500X Token Ring and 300X have 
no BNC port ➊. On the HP JetDirect 500X and 
300X, the RJ-45 connector ➋ is used for either 10 or 
100 Mbps operation. The JetDirect 170X has no 
BNC port ➊.
5. Connect the print server to the network ➊ or ➋.
6. Connect the print server to the printer(s) ➌, ➍, and ➎.
If you are attaching only one printer to the 500X, HP 
recommends that you attach that printer to Port 1 ➌.
If you are using DLC/LLC network protocols, your printer must 
be connected to Port 1 (the DLC/LLC protocol is supported only 
on Port 1).
7. Plug the power module into the power receptacle in the back of 
the print server ➏.
