Installing the BlackArmor Server and Software
Before you begin:
• Ensure that your computer meets the requirements listed on page 8.
• Ensure that you have a solid, flat, stable surface for the server to sit on in an area with
reliable ventilation. Ensure that the server’s vents will not be covered or blocked and that
the server is not placed near a heat source. Ensure that the server won’t be in an area
where liquids may be spilled on it.
• Ensure that you have help lifting the server if you are uncomfortable lifting objects of
moderate weight.
To install the BlackArmor server and software:
1. Use the Ethernet cable included in the kit to connect the BlackArmor server to a switch or
router on your local network. Connect the Ethernet cable to port 1, as shown below.
If you have a second Ethernet cable and want to connect both LAN ports to the switch or
router, connect it now. See page 38 for more information.
2. Use the power adapter included in the kit to connect the BlackArmor server to a grounded
power outlet.
The server powers on automatically and the LED lights on the front panel of the server
illuminate. The LCD screen shows the start-up progress.
