2-piece installation kit for mounting the Silent Cube Head Unit into 
a 19” rack

Configuration within the network 

The storage unit (Silent Cube) and the head unit together comprise a 
closed system in which the head unit assumes the role of a dedicated 
server and acts as the connection between the Silent Cubes and your 
intranet. Each storage unit connected to the head unit is given its own 
IP address by the head unit DHCP server. These IP addresses only 
serve the head unit’s internal administrative purposes and are not 
visible in the intranet. In a DHCP intranet, the head unit is in turn 
automatically assigned its own IP address.

Both the head unit and the Silent Cube are fully pre-configured and 
only need to be connected to one another. 

Make sure not to mix 

up the Silent Cube and intranet network connections on the 
head unit

, otherwise the head unit will act as the DHCP server in the 

intranet, which can lead to problems.
