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
(4.45cm/
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.
3.
As needed, use any appropriate
hardware
that may be required for
your type of rack.
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
Connect the appropriate power cord to the QuikStation,
and
plug
the power cord
into a
UPS appliance
or a
properly grounded
AC power source
.
7.
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 are displayed.
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.
