About Server Software
The MAXX-1200 is shipped with its application programs and operating system installed. The
first time that it is started, it must be connected to a keyboard, monitor and mouse. The server
will ask you to accept the Software Licensing Agreement before it will operate. This screen will
only appear during the initial startup. Refer to the Maintenance chapter of this manual if it
becomes necessary to reinstall software.
Rack Mounting
In North America, the server will usually be mounted in a 19” rack enclosure having 10-32
tapped holes. In countries with metric standards, the user will need to supply appropriate
fasteners.
Remove the front panel to expose the rack screw slots. Fasten the server into the rack using the
#10 flat-head Phillips screws (provided for North America). Replace the front panel and tighten
its access screws until just snug.
There may be four adhesive-backed rubber feet on the server. These should be removed if rack
mounting the unit.
Cables attached to the rear of the server should be supported by the rack mounting rails. Do
not support substantial cable weight from the server.
Mounting a DXP-2 Audio Module
An optional multi-channel audio module may also be rack mounted above or below the
MAXX-1200, on the front or rear of the rack. Four elongated screw holes are provided to
facilitate rack mounting. The DXP-2 is connected to the server with the supplied 68 Pin cable.
Connect one end to the mating connector on the rear of the audio module. Connect the other
end to the rear panel of the server.
Connecting the Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard
The MAXX-1200 is not shipped with a video monitor. Select a VESA-compliant CRT or LCD
monitor with a minimum refresh rate of 75 Hz. Note that the MAXX-1200 may not start
correctly if an unsuitable monitor is connected. Connect the monitor to the VGA port on the
rear of the unit.
Connect the keyboard to the PS-2 keyboard port on the rear of the unit; connect the mouse to
the mouse port. NOTE: If the mouse and keyboard connections are interchanged, the MAXX-
1200 may not boot up properly. Be especially careful about this when using extender cables.
If you own more than one MAXX-1200, it may be appropriate to use a single keyboard,
monitor, and mouse with a KVM switch to select between servers. Not all KVM switching
systems are compatible. The KVM switch must supply an active signal to the server at all times,
even when switched away from it. When first powering up the MAXX-1200, use only the
supplied keyboard and mouse directly connected. Then thoroughly test the KVM switch
system that will be used before installation is completed.
