Configuration guidelines

• The web-based configuration interface supports the operating systems of Windows XP, Windows

2000, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition, Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition,

Windows Vista, and MAC OS.

• The web-based configuration interface supports the browsers of Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2

and higher, Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and higher, Google Chrome 2.0.174.0 and higher, and the

browser must support and be enabled with JavaScript.

• The web-based configuration interface does not support the Back, Next, Refresh buttons provided

by the browser. Using these buttons may result in abnormal display of web pages.

• The Windows firewall limits the number of TCP connections. When you use IE to log in to the web

interface, sometimes you may be unable to open the web interface. To avoid this problem, disable

the Windows firewall before login.

HP recommends that you delete the temporary Internet files on IE; otherwise, the web page content

may not be displayed correctly.
