LaserJet 500 Color MFP M575

HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 formatter board:  I just purchased a new formatter board for a HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575. The network connection on the previous board went bad and  it seemed like a simple fix to swap out the boards.  However, when I switched out the harddrive and placed in the new board, the control panel no longer worked and sounded like it was continuously trying to "warm up".  Is a process I need to accomplish before the install of the new formatter board?

There is no specific thing you need to do when replacing the board you will have to marry the arrive to the formatter, but the screen should be on and you should get a 99.xx.xx error telling you the harddrive is unknown.

I ordered the formatter board because I thought it was going to be an in and out fix (swapping the hard drive) and then reconfiguring. Could you advise me on how to marry the arrive to the formatter?

Thanks in advance!
