Chapter 3. Installation
3.1 Rack Mounting
The SX-10 may be mounted in a standard 19 inch rack. There is a wide range of rack units on the
market which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should refer to the
assembly instructions for the rack unit that you are using.
Mount the SX-10 in a rack location that has good airflow to the rear and front of the unit.
The mounting procedure is as follows.
1. Place four retained nuts in the rack to mate with the four screws supplied with the SX-10 and
ensure that the nuts and screws are compatible.
2. Align the holes of the SX-10 with the holes of the rack.
3. Insert and tighten the four screws.
3.2 Desktop
Mounting
The SX-10 produces a low level of noise and is suitable for use in an office environment. If you wish
to desktop mount the unit, attach the four rubber feet to the base of the unit.

XenData Alert Module. These must be activated before the system can be used. The easiest
way to activate is by clicking ‘Apply’ when an Internet connection is present. This must be
