SERVSELECT IP™ INSTALLER/USER GUIDE
14
Additional items needed
The following additional items are needed to use the ServSelect IP:
• One SAM per attached server or switch
• One serial SAM per attached serial device
• One CAT 5 patch cable per server or serial device (4-pair UTP, up to 10 meters)
Setting up your network
The ServSelect IP system uses IP addresses to uniquely identify the appliances and
the computers running ServSelect IP software. The ServSelect IP appliance
supports both BootP (a subset of DHCP) and static IP addressing.
BLACK BOX
®
recommends that IP addresses be reserved for each unit and that
they remain static while the appliances are connected to the network.
3.2 Rackmounting Your ServSelect IP
Your ServSelect IP appliance ships with rackmounting brackets for easy integration
into your rack. Before installing the appliance and other components in the rack
cabinet, stabilize the rack in a permanent location. Install your equipment starting at
the bottom of the rack cabinet, then work to the top. Avoid uneven loading or
overloading of rack cabinets.
To install the 1U switch mounting bracket:
1. Line up the holes in the “long side” of the kit’s side brackets with the screw
holes in the switch.
2. With a Phillips screwdriver, fasten the mounting brackets to the switch using
two 8/32" x 1/2" pan head screws on each side.
3. Attach the four cage nuts or clip nuts to the rackmounting fl ange of the rack
cabinet so that each nut is positioned on the inside of the rack.
4. Mount the switch assembly to the rack cabinet by matching the holes in the “short
side” of each bracket to an appropriate set of matching holes on your rack
cabinet. Next, insert the combination hex head screws through the slots in the
bracket and the holes in the mounting rail, then into the cage nuts or clip nuts.
