Installing
This chapter describes the physical installation of your PDX218 and configuring it for
use with your Profile Video File Server. The information includes:
• Mounting the PDX 218 in the equipment rack.
• Making PDX 218 rear panel cable connections.
• Turning power On.
• Making a file system on the PDX218.
Rack Mounting
The PDX 218 installs in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. Rack slides allow the
PDX 218 to slide in and out without having to remove it from the rack. However, if
the rack does not already have rack slides installed, or if the slides are not correctly
positioned, you will have to use those shipped with the PDX 218.
When determining the location of the PDX 218 in the rack, bear in mind that the unit
weighs approximately 51.5 pounds. Observe the following warnings:
WARNING: To prevent injury, two people are required to lift the PDX218. It is too
heavy for one person to install in the rack.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, insure that the rack is anchored to the floor
so that it cannot tip over when the PDX 218 is extended out of the rack.
