• Avoid moving around the work area in order to eliminate
static charge buildup.
• If possible, do not work on a carpeted area.

are in the OFF (up) position and the two middle switches are
in the ON (down) position (OFF=0, ON=1) for operation on
either a 10baseT or 10base2 network with a printer attached
