1.2 Optional 1U Rack Mounting Brackets
Installing Rack Mounting Brackets
The chassis can be mounted in a rack using two rack brackets and a two-part power adapter
shelf bracket (optional, MCP-290-10110-0B).
1. Attach the rack brackets using three screws through the holes in each bracket to secure
the bracket to the chassis.
2. Install the handles, using two screws through the bracket and into each handle.
Figure 1-5. Installing Rack Mounting Brackets
3. If you are using the optional power adapter bracket, install the power adapter on its bracket.
Place it as shown, then add the retention bracket using two screws.
4. Mount the power adapter bracket assembly on the right side of the chassis using three
screws.

1: Introduction
1.3 Unpacking the System
Inspect the box in which the chassis was shipped and note if it was damaged. If any
equipment appears damaged, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
1.4 Where to get Replacement Components
If you need replacement parts for your system, to ensure the highest level of professional
service and technical support, purchase exclusively from ECDATA.COM at:
https://www.ECDATA.COM.
1.5 Returning Merchandise for Service
A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before any
warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your vendor for a Returned
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning to the manufacturer, the RMA
number should be prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping carton and mailed
prepaid or hand-carried. Shipping and handling charges will be applied for all orders that
must be mailed when service is complete.
Whenever possible, repack the chassis in the original ECDATA.COM carton, using the
original packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the chassis
securely, using packaging material to surround the chassis so that it does not shift within the
carton and become damaged during shipping.
This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages incurred in
shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper maintenance of
products.
During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems.

Maintenance and Component
Installation
This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To
prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part
numbers given.
Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the
system. Please follow the procedures given in each section.
2.1 Removing Power
Use the following procedure to ensure that power has been removed from the system. This
step is necessary when removing or installing non hot-swap components
Powering Down
1. Use the operating system to power down the system.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, disconnect the AC power cord from the
power source.
3. Disconnect the power cord from the chassis.

Removing the Top Cover
1. Power down the system as described in section 2.1.
2. Remove the two screws that hold the cover in place.
3. Slide the cover sideways as illustrated above to release the front and rear cover hooks
from the chassis.
4. Lift the cover up and off the chassis.
Caution: Except for short periods of time, do not operate the server without the cover in
place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow proper airflow and prevent overheating.

2.3 Chassis Components
Installing a Storage Drive(FACTORY OPTION ON SOME MODELS)
The PDS-1/10G ships with one M.2 Flash Storage Drive. It contains the Linux operating
system and the proprietary code of the Network Emulator. Users are not allowed to access
this code. The only user access is the GUI interface and GUI Scripting.
Installing the Hard Drive (For Ref ONLY)
The motherboard should be installed before installing the drive.
1. Make sure there is no power to the system as described in section 2.1 and remove the
chassis cover.
2. Remove the screws securing the hard drive tray to the support bracket and set them
aside for later use. Lift the tray out.
3. Place the drive into the tray and secure it to the tray with the screws provided with drive.

4. Return the drive tray assembly into the chassis, aligning the tabs of the tray with the
slots in the chassis. Secure the tray to the chassis support bracket with the screws
previously set aside.
5. Attach the cable SATA connector and to the motherboard connector. This cable carries
both the SATA signal and the SATA power.
6. Reinstall the chassis cover and power up the system.
REMOVING THE RISER CARD
The system supports one PCIe x8 expansion card. The riser card is inserted in the
expansion slot on the motherboard. Installation of the riser card and riser card bracket is
pictured below. To Change the PCIe 10/100/1000 Copper or 10G Fiber cards, REMOVE the
TOP 2 SCREWS and CAREFULLY remove the riser card and swap the NIC cards.
