About Server Software
The MAXX-2420-EX is shipped with its application programs and operating system installed.
The first time that it is started, it must be connected to a keyboard, monitor and mouse. The
server will ask you to accept the Software Licensing Agreement before it will operate. This
screen will only appear during the initial startup. Refer to the Maintenance chapter of this
manual if it becomes necessary to reinstall software.
Rack Mounting
In North America, the server will usually be mounted in a 19” rack enclosure having 10-32
tapped holes. In countries with metric standards, the user will need to supply appropriate
fasteners.
Remove the front panel to expose the rack screw slots. Fasten the server into the rack using the
#10 flat-head Phillips screws (provided for North America). Replace the front panel and tighten
its access screws until just snug.
There may be four adhesive-backed rubber feet on the server. These should be removed if rack
mounting the unit.
Cables attached to the rear of the server should be supported by the rack mounting rails. Do
not support substantial cable weight from the server.
Mounting an Audio Module (AXP-3, AXP-4 or DXP-1)
An optional multi-channel audio module may also be rack mounted above or below the
MAXX-2420-EX, on the front or rear of the rack. Four elongated screw holes are provided to
facilitate rack mounting of the AXP Module. Audio modules are connected to the server with
the supplied 68 Pin cable. Connect one end to the mating connector on the rear of the audio
module. Connect the other end to the rear panel of the server.
Mounting the Control Module (CXP)
The supplied CXP module may also be rack mounted above or below the MAXX-2420-EX, on
the front or rear of the rack. Four elongated screw holes are provided to facilitate rack mounting
of the CXP Module. The CXP module is connected to the server using the supplied 68 Pin
cable. Connect one end of the cable to the mating connector on the rear of the CXP Module.
Connect the other end to the rear panel of the server. Refer to Figure 4 on page 27 for
information about connecting GPI and automation signals to the CXP Module.
Connecting the Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard
The MAXX-2420-EX 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-2420-EX 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 1 on Page 24
