Installing Project Serve
Before installing Project Serve in a rack or on a table top, consider the limitations for
maximum cable lengths, when deciding on the location of the appliance within your
facility. Also check the appliance's technical characteristics to make sure that the
rack/the table meets the physical, electrical, and thermal specifications.
Rack-mounting Project Serve
You can mount Project Serve in a standard, 19-inch-wide, four-post video rack. A
rack-mount rails kit is included in your shipment.
If you are installing Project Serve in a rack, follow the instructions supplied in the
rack-mount rails kit to install the appliance.
Tip:
Install the heaviest devices in the lowest position in the rack.
Installing Project Serve on a Table Top
If you do not plan to install your Project Serve in a rack, and you opt for tabletop
installation, ensure that:
•
the surface is clean and in a safe location;
•
the appliance is stable, its bottom faces down and its top faces up.
Tip:
To determine the top and bottom of the appliance, use the text direction
on the printed labels.
•
the appliance is installed off the floor (dust that accumulates on the floor is drawn
into the interior of the appliance by the cooling fans. Excessive dust inside the
appliance can cause overheating and component failures;
•
there is at least 50cm (19 inches) of clearance at the front and rear of the appliance
for accessing network cables or equipment;
•
the appliance receives adequate ventilation - it is not being installed in an enclosed
cabinet where ventilation is inadequate;
•
the appliance is not in close proximity to devices that emit strong electromagnetic
waves.
Installing The Front Panel Bezel
Project Serve is shipped with a bezel that covers the front panel.
Tip:
You can install/remove the bezel at any time without having to turn off
the appliance or dismount the appliance from the rack.
