3511 Hard Disk Question

[Solotime]

OK so we have 2 3511's with no hard drives. Just want to make them at least make copies. I have read where these will function as copiers without the firmware. I have 2 80GB hard drives ready to install so my question is: What file format do I need to format them in and will the copiers function without the firmware? If not can someone send me the firmware files and how are they installed?
We just want to get rid of these 2 machines but need to have them at least passing copies.
Thanks,
Edwin

The MFPs will not run w/o HDDs and you are not likely to get the firmware and instructions for free. Emujo

I did not ask for the instructions/software for free if it is required to at least get them to copy. Not worried about the print or MFP functions. In any case if it is required for copying then again what I need is what file system needs to be on the HD and then what is the procedure for installing the firmware. If someone has the firmware available then they can PM me with a transfer method and cost.

Power On machine holding "c" & 3 key then u can follow the screen instructions, if u got the firmware save it to a pendrive and insert it to the machine. partitioning and formatting will done in that menu as i told u earlier. Try power on machine holding "0" & "8" and to format 690 code. I cannot upload the firmware but u might able download from web its available there. These ppl here doesnt lyk posting of SM & FWs..... hope this will help u
