Step 2

Install Rails in Rack

The rack-mounted RDX QuikStation is designed for use in a a 19-inch rack using 
1U of rack space. The length of the power cord and the Ethernet cables may 
restrict placement. 

1.

Determine the 1U area where the 
QuikStation is to be mounted, and 

mark

 (4.45 cm/1.75 in) of space on 

the front rack.

2.

At the rear, mark the 

first

 and 

third holes

.

3.

Measure

 the 

length between the 
front and rear rack 
mount rails. 

If the 
measurement is

 

shorter

 than 

the length of the 
QuikStation, 
secure the 

first 

and 

third

 rail 

holes with 
M4x12 screws, washers, and nuts.

If the measurement is

 longer

 than the length of the QuikStation, secure 

the 

second 

and 

fourth

 rail holes with M4x12 screws, washers, and nuts.

4.

Adjust the left rail to the length determined in 

Step 3

 using a 7 mm open-end 

wrench and screwdriver.

5.

Align the 

left-front flange

 with the two 

marked holes on the 

front

 

rack rail

 and 

loosely attach the rail with 

one screw

 in 

the top hole.

6.

Align left-front flange with the two 
marked holes on the 

rear

 rack rail and 

loosely attach 

two screws

 in the marked 

holes.

7.

Verify the 

rail

 is level and securely 

tighten all screws.

8.

Repeat 

Steps 1–7

 for the 

right

 rail 

assembly.

Install the Unit in the Rack

1.

Lift and position the unit 
with the 

bracket holes 

aligned

 with the appropriate 

rack holes.

2.

Using the two provided 
screws, attach the

 

QuikStation 4 brackets

 to 

the rack and tighten them 
just enough to support the 
appliance.
As needed, use any 
appropriate hardware that 
may be required for your type of rack.

3.

Verify that the appliance is level, and 

tighten the

 

screws

.

IMPORTANT:  Do not place anything on top of the rack-mounted unit when it is 
extended from the rack.

Step 3

Connect Network and Power Cords

All cabling, power connections, and cooling vents are located on the QuikStation 
rear panel.

1.

Connect one or two RDX QuikStation Ethernet network ports to 

network

 

ports on a switch, hub, or router on the same LAN as the host system used to 
manage the QuikStation.

NOTE: Two network ports are recommended for failover protection and maximum 
performance.

2.

Connect the appropriate power cord to the QuikStation,

 

and 

plug

 

the power 

cord

 into a

 UPS appliance

 or a 

properly grounded AC power source

.

3.

Turn the power on by pressing the 

power button

 on the front of the unit.

NOTE: If the unit does not power up, check that the power switch on the rear of the 
unit is set to on.

Install Cartridges

1.

Insert an 

RDX cartridge

 into the QuikStation 4 RDX dock.

2.

Slide the 

cartridge 

in until it locks in place.

3.

Repeat 

Steps 1–2

 for 

each

 remaining cartridge.

Step 4

Obtain the IP Address

The default network configuration is set for dynamic IP addresses (DHCP), but 
static IP addresses are also supported. To determine an IP address:

1.

Attach a 

monitor

 to the VGA/display port.

2.

Power on

 the unit by pressing the power button

After the unit initializes, the IP addresses display on the screen.

The IP address may also be obtained using a USB stick with a single MBR 
partition formatted with either FAT32 or NTFS.

1.

Create an empty 

network.info

 

file on a USB stick.

2.

Insert the stick

 in the USB port on the front of the unit and wait at least 

30 seconds for the network configuration to download to the 

network.info

 

file.

3.

Move the USB stick to a 

host computer

 and scan the updated 

network.info

 

file to determine the available IP addresses.
