Step 2

Install Rails in Rack

The rack-mounted RDX
QuikStation 4 is designed for use
in a a 19-inch rack using 1U of
rack space. The length of the
1021807 Rev. D
power cord and the Ethernet
cables may restrict placement.
1. Determine the 1U area
where the QuikStation 4 is to be mounted and mark both sets of
first and third holes 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 4, 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 4, 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
rack rail and loosely attach the left-side mounting rail with two
screws.
5. Ensure the mounting rail is level and attach it loosely to the rack

1 - AC Power Plug
2 - USB 2.0 Ports (2)
3 - 1 Gb IPMI Port
1. Connect one or more of the 1 Gb Ethernet ports to the network
ports on a switch, hub, or router on the same LAN as the host system
used to manage the QuikStation.
NOTE: For failover protection and maximum performance, connect two
1 GbE network ports.
2. Connect the appropriate power cord to the QuikStation, and plug the
power cord into either a UPS appliance or a properly grounded AC
power source.
3. Turn the power on by pressing the power button/LED on the front
center of the unit.

Install Cartridges

1. Position an RDX cartridge at an empty QuikStation 4 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 4 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.
