Table 6: IPVT10 Equipment Specifications
Mounting IPVT10 Equipment to Cabinet
Users can install the IPVT10 in a 19-inch cabinet that conforms to the IEC (International Electro-Technical Commission) 60297
standards.
1. The IPVT10 server is heavy and we suggest carrying it with two people at least.
2. If the cabinet has been installed, then suggest a space of at least “2U” (1U=44.45mm) to be reserved.
3. Users can select the regular rail for installation or optional installation.
Example:

Rail structure: It is composed of inner rail, outer rail, and rail holder. The inner rail and the outer rail are connected, and they
cannot be split. They are mounted on the cabinet through the rail holder; the inner rail is installed on the server equipment
(Rails and Rail Holders are not included within the package contents).
Steps:
1. Remove the rail holder and the rails by loosening the 4 screws first, and then removing the front and back rail holders.
2. Install the inner rail to the server case. Pull the inner rail out of the rail until it cannot be pulled.
3. Fix the inner rail with 2 screws to the server case. Fit the smooth surface of the inner rail to the side of the server case and
match the screw holes on the inner rail with the screw holes on the server case. Hold the inner rail tightly against the
server case and tighten with the screws.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to install the other inner rail on the other side of the server case.
5. Install the rail holder to the cabinet. Make sure the installation position of the front rail holder on the cabinet, align the
two fixing holes between the rail holder and the cabinet corner and tighten the screws. Then, according to the depth of
the cabinet (the depth of the cabinet is 650mm), adjust the back-rail holder properly, align the two fixing holes between
the back-rail holder and the cabinet corner at the back of the cabinet, tighten the screws. (Note: Please make sure that the
front and back rail holders are horizontal).
6. Repeat the above steps to install the other front and back rail holders in the cabinet. (Note: Please make sure that the left
and right-side rails are horizontal).
7. Lift the server up and close to the cabinet so that the back of the server faces the front of the cabinet. Insert the inner rails
on the two sides of the server into the front and back rail holders on the cabinet, align the fixing holes and tighten the
screws.
8. When the installation is completed, push the server into the cabinet.
Connecting IPVT10 Server
Connecting Network Cables
To ensure to run IPVT10 Server properly, users need to connect the server to a Gigabit switch.
Please connect IPVT10 Server according to the following procedures:
1. Connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable with the Ethernet Interface 1.
2. Connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable with the Gigabit switch.
3. Repeat steps “1” and “2” to connect with Ethernet interface 2.
Note
Please do not use 100M or 10M switches.
If only one network is used, only one network interface needs to be connected to the switch (Internal Network – Setup
Ethernet Interface 1, External Network – Setup Ethernet Interface 2).

Figure 4: Connecting Ethernet Cables to Ethernet Interfaces
Connecting Power Supply cables
IPVT10 only supports AC power supply, users can connect the two power supply cables following the steps below:
1. Connect the standard power supply cable with the equipment.
2. Plug the power supply into the AC power supply.
3. Repeat steps “1” and “2” to connect the second power supply cable.
Powering on IPVT10
Before powering on the equipment, users need to ensure that the equipment meets the following conditions:
If the equipment is installed in a cabinet, please ensure that the screws are fixed, and the equipment has enough space
for heat dissipation.
The connections of the cables on the equipment are normal.
The input power and current are within the working range of the equipment.
The distance between the power cable and the Ethernet cable outside the cabinet must be greater than 30 mm.
Once the previous conditions are checked, the users can power up the IPVT10 Server. To make the equipment run properly,
users need to press the equipment switch in the front panel of the server to power on the equipment. The indicator will turn
to solid green.

2 Hard Disk Indicator
When the hard disk is running normally: the light is off.
When the hard disk is reading and writing: the light is solid blue.
Note
Please use the standard three-phase power outlet.
Please make sure that the output voltage is within the range of the power module (90~264VAC, 8.5~2.7A, 50/60Hz). If it is
not within the working range, correct it and do not power on the equipment.
