The Zixi Server Appliance can be either rack mounted, or simply laid on top of a flat surface (such as a desktop).
Mounting the Zixi Appliance in a Rack
Note
Make sure that the rack is electrically grounded. Make sure that the cooling fan air intake (located in the back panel) or the air ventilation holes (on the top panel), are not obstructed.
To mount the Server Appliance in a standard (19-inch) rack:
Insert the server appliance box into an available 1U slot in the rack.
Secure the unit to the rack by fastening the rack-mount ears to the rack frame, using the appropriate screws for rack mounting (not supplied).
Plug in the AC power supply cable (supplied) to the power supply port in the rear panel, then plug the cable to the AC power supply (mains).
Installing the Zixi Appliance on a Desktop
Note
Make sure that the tabletop is flat and dry. Make sure that the cooling fan air intake (located in the back panel) or the air ventilation holes (on the top panel), are not obstructed.
To install the Zixi Appliance on a desktop:
Place the appliance box on a dry, flat, leveled surface (such as a desktop).
If the appliance is placed within a stack of other electrical appliance, make sure there is ample space behind the cooling fan (located in the back panel), to allow proper ventilation and cooling.
Plug in the AC power supply cable (supplied) to the power supply port in the rear panel, then plug the cable to the AC power supply (mains)
