A telephone with a cord long enough to be used at the computer will allow the MSD operator to communicate with HP support personnel. In addition, a second, analog phone line is strongly recommended to allow remote control and diagnosis of the MSD through a modem.
General Information 6LWH UHTXLUHPHQWV Power requirements If possible, all components should be connected to the same line voltage supply circuit. This avoids voltage differences between components. All circuits must have a common ground. Grounding The three-conductor power outlet provided for the MSD must conform to the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) requirement for grounding of electrical instruments.
