obstructed, dust is kept to a minimum, and there is at least 12cm
(4.75 in.) free space in front of the unit to allow the operators to safely
remove the RDX cartridges.

WARNUNG:
Schäden am Gerät zu vermeiden, ziehen Sie stets den
Netzstecker, bevor Sie an der Einheit arbeiten.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique ou
endommagement de l'équipement, retirez toujours les cordons

Step 2
Install Rails in Rack
The rack version of the RDX
QuikStation 8 is designed for use
in a 19-inch rack using 2U of rack
space. The rails install at the
bottom half of a 2U space. The
10400875
length of the power cord and the
Ethernet cables may restrict
placement.
1. Determine the 2U area
where the QuikStation 8 is to
be mounted and mark both
sets of first and third holes of the bottom 1U on the front.
2. At the rear, mark the same first and third holes.
3. Measure the gap between the
front and rear rack rails.
• If the measurement is less
than the length of the
QuikStation 8, secure the first
and third mounting rail holes
with M4x12 screws, washers,
and nuts.
• If the measurement is equal
or greater than the length of
the QuikStation 8, secure the
second and fourth mounting
rail holes with M4x12 screws,
washers, and nuts.
4. Align the left-front flange with the two marked holes on the front
Enter
rack rail and loosely attach the left-side mounting rail with two
Enter
screws.
5. Ensure the mounting rail is level and attach it loosely to the rack
rear with two screws.
6. Repeat Steps 4–5
7. Verify both rails are level and securely tighten all screws.
Installing the Unit in the Rack
1. Lift and position the unit onto the
rails and push it in until the front
brackets are touching the rail screws.
Verify that the unit is level and the
QuikStation 8 thumbscrews align with
the appropriate rail holes.
2. Using the thumbscrews, anchor the
QuikStation 8 bracket right and left to
the rack.
WARNING:

1 - AC Power plugs (on PSUs)
2 - Power Supply Reset
3 - Serial connector
4 - Ethernet port - IPMI Interface
5 - USB 2.0 Ports (2)
1. Connect either one or both of the 10 Gb Ethernet ports to the
network ports of a switch, hub, or router on the same LAN as the
host system being used to manage the QuikStation.
NOTE: For failover protection and maximum performance, connect both
10 GbE network ports.
2. Connect the appropriate power cords to the QuikStation, and plug
the power cords into either a UPS appliance or a properly
grounded AC power source.
NOTE: If using two power supplies for failover protection, connect them to
different UPS appliances using different AC power sources.
3. Turn the power on by pressing the power button on the front
center of the unit.
Install Cartridges
1. Position an RDX cartridge at an empty RDX dock opening.
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 QuikStation 8 network configuration is set for dynamic IP
addresses (DHCP), but static IP addresses are also supported. To
determine an IP address:
1. With the appliance off, attach a monitor to the VGA display port.
2. Attach a keyboard as appropriate.
3. 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.
