Unpack the Equipment

Check that there are no signs of damage to equipment due to transport. If the
equipment appears to be damaged, please contact Sencore ProCare for support.
In addition to the Sencore TXS 3800 hardware itself, the box should include
power cables or AC adapters and various rackmount hardware.

Equipment Installation and Power Up

The TXS 3800 server hardware is designed for rack installation and should be
securely connected to the rack using the included rack rails and screws suitable
for the rack type. Note that there should be sufficient room for air to freely flow
around the unit, ensuring proper cooling. The chassis requires front-to-back
airflow.
The TXS 3800 server hardware is specified to operate in the range of 100–
240VAC, 50-60Hz

Establish a Web Connection to the TXS 3800

To access the TXS 3800 web user interface, it is necessary to establish an
Ethernet connection to the device. There are two alternative ways to connect to
or set the device's management IP address: using the pre-set management IP
address or connecting a monitor and keyboard to the server.

Using the Pre-Set Management IP Address

The Sencore TXS 3800 is shipped with the following factory settings for the
network ports:
eth0 Default IP Address:
eth0 Default Subnet Mask:
eth1 Default IP Address:
To connect to the web UI, the PC used for setup should have corresponding
network settings. Connect a PC directly to eth0 using an Ethernet cable.
