VBrick 9000 Blade Installation

Unpack and Inspect

Before proceeding, open the box and inspect the components. Each shipment comes with
the components shown in the table below. If anything is missing or damaged, contact VBrick
or your reseller at once. Otherwise, install the shelf in a standard 19 in. EIA rack mount
chassis.
Tip: Since the encoder blades are removed from the front, VBrick rack mount units
can be mounted back-to-back (on the same shelf) without consuming additional
vertical rack space. This effectively doubles the density in installations where rack
space is an issue.

Install the Blades

Note that if you purchased blades with your order they will be packaged separately and not
installed in the rack mount shelf prior to shipment. Each blade is configured by default for
DHCP.
Keep in mind:
• Blade encoders are set up and connected in the same manner as a standalone encoder
(See: Quick Start Installation Steps).
