Step 1 –Unpack the components
The VideoX Enterprise Appliance is shipped separately from its hard disk drives. The contents of the VideoX
Enterprise Appliance box can be unpacked by a single person, but it is recommended that two people remove
the server from the box.
Step 2 –Install the Rackmount Kit on the Chassis
A rackmount rail kit is included with VideoX Enterprise Appliance. Refer to the VideoX Enterprise Quick
Reference guide for installation instructions or the documentation shipped with the rackmount rail kit.
Step 3 –Cabling the VideoX Enterprise
Two NEMA-15 power cords are included with the VideoX Enterprise appliance. The VideoX Enterprise
Appliance requires two AC power sources. Connect both power cords. Only connect a monitor to the VGA port
(do NOT connect a monitor to the DisplayPort or DVI port as this will cause the remote KVM function in IPMI to
not function) as well as a Keyboard and mouse to their respective USB ports. Network connectivity is required
during the operation of the VideoX Enterprise. Plug in at least one Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port of the
VideoX Enterprise. A network cable can be connected to the IPMI management port for later usage, but it is
not required for basic operation.
