Mounting the TimeIPS Server

The TimeIPS IPS266T Series server is designed to be operated on a shelf, on a 
table, on the floor, or mounted in a standard 19" rack.

For rack mounting, secure the server with 4 rack screws (not provided).  If desired, 
a rail kit, part number CASE-RAIL, is available for purchase from TimeIPS.

TimeIPS servers must have reasonable clearance and air circulation to prevent 
overheating.

Power Backup (UPS)

As with any server, a steady supply of clean power is essential for TimeIPS.

Losing power while the server is operating may cause data loss or 
corruption.

Brown-outs or flickering power can cause damage to the power supply 
and/or system components.

To prevent damage and/or data loss related to power problems, we recommend 
plugging the TimeIPS server into a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).

TimeIPS servers are relatively low-power devices.  A UPS with a minimum rating 
of 1000VA is recommended for maximum power stability and moderate run-time.

TimeIPS servers have support for communicating with most APC brand Smart-UPS 
units with USB data cables.  The signals from these UPS units allow TimeIPS to log
and report power outages and perform a clean automated shutdown in the event of 
an extended outage.  This will protect your data and is highly recommended.
