Description
For optimal performance, use only switches that support GbE.
Overland Storage recommends that you use a UPS with
SnapServers. SnapServers are compatible with USB-based and
network-based APC-brand uninterruptible power supplies that allow
you to take advantage of the automatic shutdown capability. Visit the
APC Web site for a listing of optimal APC models for use with your
SnapServer.
You can use either a two-post telco-style rack or a four-post rack to
mount the SnapServer 410, SnapServer 4200, and SnapServer 4500.
Non-EIA compliant racks may not be able to support the server using
only the front posts. If you are using a non-EIA rack, Overland
Storage recommends that you secure the server using slide rails,
available from an authorized Overland Storage reseller.
The SnapServer 410, SnapServer 4200, SnapServer 4500, and the
Snap Disk 10 come with two L-shaped rack mount brackets (ears).
You can attach them in one of two ways: (1) to the front of the server
for mounting to the front posts of a four-post rack; or (2) to the middle
or front of the server for mounting to both posts of a Telco rack.
Note
Snap Disk 10 expansion arrays must be rack mounted within
7U of the host SnapServer due to cable length restrictions.
The SnapServer 510, 520, 550, 620, and 650 come with two (left and
right) slide rails and must be installed in a four-post, 32" deep (or
greater) EIA-compliant rack.
Note
Mounting the SnapServer 510, 520, 550, 620, or 650 into a
two-post rack is not supported.
