CHAPTER 2
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Getting Started
This chapter provides a guide to installing the Plasmon Archive Appliance Express (AAE) and the
procedures necessary to get it on-line.
Unpacking
Save all packing material in case it is ever necessary to ship the appliance.
Position
Position the appliance to allow a minimum three inch clearance at the back for ventilation. Do not cover
or block the air vents on the appliance.
To mount the appliance in a standard 19" rack, refer to the Rack Mount Guidelines section later in this
chapter before proceeding.
Environment
To ensure long term reliability, operate the appliance only between 10° to 40°C (50° to 104°F) and 10%
to 90% relative humidity. The media and drives require a clean environment. Excessive dust and dirt
can lead to data loss, and increase service calls.
External Power Requirements
The appliance requires an external power source with 100 to 240 VAC (the power supply is auto-
ranging) at 50 to 60 Hz. See Appendix A in this document for power figures.
