Preparing for Installation
Network
What is the network cable and connection type?
• Thinnet (10Base2)
• Thicknet (10Base5)
• Unshielded twisted pair (10BaseT/100BaseTX)
Is the network connection ready and tested for RIP Station 5000 installation?
To verify that the network is functioning before you attach the RIP Station 5000:
• Ask the network administrator to print a document on a shared printer over the
network.
• Ask the network administrator to verify the computer and network requirements as
specified in Setup Guide.
External CD ROM drive
If system software installation is required, are a CD ROM drive and cable available that is
either:
• a CD ROM drive built in or attached to a PC-compatible computer connected to the
parallel port (IEEE 1284-C 36-pin mini connector)
• an external CD ROM drive connected to the SCSI port
Parallel port
Is a tested parallel cable available for connection either to the 36-pin mini-connector on
the RIP Station 5000 or to the converter cable provided?
Is there space for both the RIP Station 5000 and the PC-compatible that will be
connected to the RIP Station 5000?
If system software installation is required and will be done over the parallel port:
• Can the parallel port on the PC-compatible be configured for ECP mode?
• Are there 100MB of disk space free on the PC-compatible?
• Is the PC-compatible running Windows 95 (recommended)?
• Do you have the User CD with the appropriate Windows Postscript driver to install on
the PC-compatible?
System contact person
Will the person responsible for the computers and the network be available at the time
set for installation? Get a name as a contact.
