System Requirements for a Client PC
A client PC or laptop meeting the following requirements is required to access the XAdmin
Web client, and the other Kaleido-X client applications.
Step 1: Physical Setup
To set up the Kaleido-MX hardware
1 With the Kaleido-MX (1RU) frame (enclosure) installed in its designated rack position,
and before powering up the unit, verify that each card is securely seated in its slot, and
leave the frame door open so that you can monitor all the card’s LEDs.

removing cards.
