Unpack the Unit

Place the unit and any supplied RDX cartridges on a secure surface.

Ensure that the airflow around the front and back of the unit is not

obstructed, there is minimal dust, and there is a minimum of 12cm free

space in front of the unit to allow the operators to safely remove the RDX

cartridges.

If using a desktop unit, proceed to Step 3.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to

equipment, always remove any power cords while working with

the unit.

WARNUNG: Um das Risiko eines elektrischen Schlags oder

Schäden am Gerät zu vermeiden, ziehen Sie stets den

Netzstecker, bevor Sie an der Einheit arbeiten.

AVERTISSEMENT: Pour réduire le risque de choc électrique ou

endommagement de l'équipement, retirez toujours les cordons

Step 2

Install Rails in Rack

The rack-mounted RDX

QuikStation 4 is designed for use

in a a 19-inch rack using 1U of

rack space. The length of the

power cord and the Ethernet

cables may restrict placement.

1. Determine the 1U area

where the QuikStation 4 is to be mounted and mark both sets of

first and third holes on the front.

2. At the rear, mark the same first and third holes.

3. Measure the gap between the

front and rear rack rails.

• If the measurement is less

than the length of the

QuikStation 4, secure the first

and third mounting rail holes

with M4x12 screws, washers,

and nuts.

• If the measurement is equal

or greater than the length of

the QuikStation 4, secure the

second and fourth mounting

rail holes with M4x12 screws,

washers, and nuts.

4. Align the left-front flange with the two marked holes on the front

rack rail and loosely attach the left-side mounting rail with two

screws.

5. Ensure the mounting rail is level and attach it loosely to the rack

rear with two screws.

6. Repeat Steps 4–5 for the right-side rail.

7. Verify both rails are level and securely tighten all screws.

Install the Unit in the Rack

1. Lift and position the unit onto the

rails and push it in until the front

brackets are touching the rails.

2. Using the two provided screws,

attach the QuikStation 4 brackets to

the bottom holes in the rack and

tighten them just enough to support

the appliance.

3. Verify that the appliance is level,

and tighten the screws evenly.

WARNING: Do not place anything on top of the rack-mounted unit

when it is extended from the rack.

WARNUNG: Stellen Sie nichts auf die Rack-Einheit, wenn diese aus

dem Rack herausragt.

AVERTISSEMENT: Ne rien poser sur l’unité installée dans le rack

lorsqu’elle est étendue du rack.

Step 3

Connect Network and Power Cords

All power connections, cabling ports, and cooling vents are located on the

rear panel of the QuikStation 4.

1. Connect one or more of the 1 Gb Ethernet ports to the network

ports on a switch, hub, or router on the same LAN as the host system

used to manage the QuikStation.

NOTE: For failover protection and maximum performance, connect two

1GbE network ports.

2. Connect the appropriate power cord to the QuikStation, and plug the

power cord into either a UPS appliance or a properly grounded AC

power source.

3. Turn the power on by pressing the power button/LED on the front

center of the unit.

Install Cartridges

1. Position an RDX cartridge at an empty QuikStation 4 RDX dock

opening.

2. Slide the cartridge in until it locks in place.

3. Repeat Steps 1–2 for each remaining cartridge.

Step 4

Obtain the IP Address

The default QuikStation 4 network configuration is set for dynamic IP

addresses (DHCP), but static IP addresses are also supported. To

determine an IP address:

1. With the appliance off, attach a monitor to the VGA display port.

2. Attach a keyboard as appropriate.

3. Power on the unit by pressing the power button.

After the unit initializes, the IP addresses are displayed.

The IP address may also be obtained using a USB stick with a single

MBR partition formatted with either FAT32 or NTFS.

1. Create an empty network.info file on a USB stick.

2. Insert the stick in the USB port on the front of the unit and wait at

least 30 seconds for the network configuration to download to the

network.info file.

3. Move the USB stick to a host computer and scan the updated

network.info file to determine the available IP addresses.

Assign a Static IP Address

CAUTION: Make sure the file name network.conf is all

lowercase letters.

1 - AC Power Plug

2 - 1 Gb IPMI Port

3 - USB 2.0 Port (USB1)

4 - USB 2.0 Port (USB0)

5 - 1 Gb Ethernet Ports (eth2)

6 - 1 Gb Ethernet Ports (eth0)

7 - 1 Gb Ethernet Ports (eth3)

8 - 1 Gb Ethernet Ports (eth1)

9 - VGA/Display Port

If DHCP support is not enabled, set a static IP address for the unit:

1. Create a network.conf file on a USB stick with these entries:

BOND0_IP4_CONFIG=static

BOND0_IP4_ADDR=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

BOND0_IP4_GW=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

BOND0_IP4_PREFIX=nn

Insert your IP address, gateway, and prefix as required. For

example:

BOND0_IP4_CONFIG=static

BOND0_IP4_ADDR=192.168.10.111

BOND0_IP4_GW=192.168.10.1

BOND0_IP4_PREFIX=24

2. Insert the stick in the USB port on the front of the unit and wait at

least two minutes for the network.conf file to update.

3. Remove the USB stick from the front port.

The unit will restart with the updated network settings.

NOTE: If the unit does not reboot automatically, recheck network.conf

filename to ensure it is all lowercase letters.

You may need to use a Linux or MacOS host system to check a filename as

Windows OS can change the filename to uppercase but cannot display it.

The Remote Management Console should now be available at the

static IP address selected. For more information on how to configure

IP addresses, refer to the RDX QuikStation 4 & 8 Product Manual.

Connect to Remote Management Console

Use a web browser to connect to the RDX QuikStation 4 Remote

Management Console (RMC) from any computer on the same network as

the QuikStation 4. Supported operating systems include Microsoft

Windows, Linux, and Apple MacOS.

To connect to the RMC:

1. Obtain the unit’s IP address.

2. On a network host, type the RDX QuikStation IP address in a web

browser’s URL field (http://<RDX_QuikStation_IP_Address>).

3. Sign in to the Console.

The default user name/password is “Admin/Admin!”.

NOTE: Passwords are case-sensitive.

Step 5

Configure the RDX QuikStation 4

You can configure your RDX QuikStation 4 as RDX Disks (default) or

RDX Logical Volume (see the RDX QuikStation 4 & 8 Product Manual).

1. Using the RMC, select the device type from the dialog window.

2. Click

The system restarts. When done, your selected device configuration

is shown.

NOTE: If you have any RDX cartridges loaded into the RDX QuikStation, the

system will eject the cartridges when it restarts.

Step 6

Connect to iSCSI Targets

In iSCSI terminology, a host computer is referred to as an initiator and

the storage device it connects to as the target.

NOTE: The RDX QuikStation and the host computers must reside on the same

network.

To establish an iSCSI connection in Windows Server:

1. Open the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator and click the

Discovery

tab.

2. Click

Discover Portal

to enter the IP address for the RDX

QuikStation 4.

3. Click

4. Click the

Targets

tab.

5. Select the target you wish to connect to and click the

Connect

button.

For more information on how to connect to targets, refer to the RDX

QuikStation 4 & 8 Product Manual and your OS documentation.
