Network Topology Example
The UniFi Server requires a DHCP-enabled network to obtain
an IP address. Here is a sample network diagram using
thesedevices:
• UAS-XG The UniFi Application Server hosts the UniFi
Network Controller and UniFi Video software applications.
• US-16-XG Connect the 10G Ethernet ports from the
UAS-XG to the US-16-XG or other 10G-capable switches for
maximum throughput. Note that the UAS-XG’s Ethernet
ports are backwards-compatible with standard 1G ports if
10G is not available.
• USG-PRO-4 The UniFi Security Gateway Pro acts as the
DHCP server and connects to the internet.

and then close the HDD bay door.

Before You Begin
Remove the labels that secure the HDD bay doors.
1. Before removing the labels, ensure that the UniFi Server is
powered off to avoid disconnecting the hard drives while
the UniFi Server is powered on.
2. Pull the white part of the label.
3. Press the HDD bay door.

4. Once the door is released, rotate the door and pull the
HDD bay out.
5. Remove the rest of the label.

Hardware Installation
The UniFiServer can be placed on a horizontal surface,
mounted on a wall, or mounted in a rack.
Mounting in a Rack (Optional)
1. Attach the Rack-Mount Brackets to the UniFiServer using
the eight Bracket Screws.
2. Attach the UniFiServer to the rack using the four Mounting
Screws. (If the rack has square slots, then use the Cage Nuts
with the Mounting Screws.)

Connecting Power
1. Connect the Power Cord to the Power port of the
UniFiServer.
2. Connect the other end of the Power Cord to a UPS
(Uninterruptible Power Supply) to prevent possible data
loss from power outages.

UniFi Software
The UniFi Network Controller and UniFi Video software
applications are pre-installed on the UniFi Server. Follow these
instructions to launch either software:
1. Ensure that your host system is on the same Layer-2
network as the UniFi Server.
2. The UniFi Server is set to DHCP by default, so it will try to
automatically obtain an IP address. Assign a specific IP
address to the UniFi Server, or check the DHCP server for
its IP address.
3. Launch the web browser. In the address field, type https://
followed by the appropriate IP address and port number:
• UniFi Network Controller Enter 8443 as the port
number.
https://<IP_address>:8443
• UniFi Video Enter 7443 as the port number.
https://<IP_address>:7443
4. Press enter (PC) or return (Mac). Follow the on-screen
instructions.
