Condition: Used
This Extended Systems ESI-2289A ShareSpool XL 8-port print server has been inspected and appears to be in good cosmetic condition. The power supply is not included with this unit, so we were not able to power or test it at our facility — it is being sold as-is without a functionality guarantee. The chassis shows light surface wear consistent with normal use. All rear ports, DIP switches, and connectors appear intact and undamaged. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
