Connecting the Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard

The MAXX-2400HD 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-2400HD may not start correctly if an unsuitable monitor is connected. Connect the monitor to the VGA port on the rear of the unit. Refer to Figure 2 on Page 24

Connect the keyboard to the PS-2 keyboard port on the rear of the unit; connect the mouse to the mouse port. Refer to Figure 2 on page 24. NOTE: If the mouse and keyboard connections are interchanged, the MAXX-2400HD may not boot up properly. Be especially careful about this when using extender cables.

If you own more than one MAXX-2400HD, 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-2400HD, use only the supplied keyboard and mouse directly connected. Then test the KVM switch system that will be used thoroughly before installation is completed.

Installing the Hard Drives

MAXX-2400HD uses twelve 1-TB drives in its 12 Terabyte RAID 6 array. These are packaged in a separate carton inside the main carton. The drives are fully configured and ready to run the MAXX-2400HD application. It is important that the drives be installed in the correct positions in the RAID array. Each drive has a number affixed to its packaging material. Install each drive in the corresponding numbered bay according to Figure 1.

Open the drive bay door by loosening the knurled screws and pulling lightly forward and down.

Install each hard drive in the corresponding numbered slot as follows:

1.Open the blue locking lever by pulling forward slightly

2.Insert the drive in the bay by sliding it in till you feel it “seat”

3.Close the locking lever.
