Setup – Step 1: Install the SBS
1. Mount the SBS in an environment suitable for electronic
equipment and with convenient access to uplink and downlink
cabling, power supply and connection to the computer(s). Ensure
that the fan is not obstructed and the unit is able to draw air
through the vents. The SBS can be mounted either vertically or
horizontally however if the rack mount lugs are removed please
ensure that the screws are replaced in the SBS as they maintain
the structural integrity of the box.
2. Connect the power supply and UPS (if fitted).
3. Power up the SBS by pressing and
releasing the power switch. The
SBS
will
perform
sequence similar to that of a
personal computer. Once switched
on, the SBS on will generally take
up to two minutes to start up and
occasionally up to five minutes
when it needs to perform a hard disk check.
Please refer to Section 2.1 of the Owner's Handbook for more details
and how to power the unit down.
