Connecting the Monitor, Mouse and Keyboard
The MAXX 6T is not shipped with a video monitor. Select a VESA-compliant CRT or LCD monitor
with a minimum refresh rate of 75Hz. Note that the MAXX 6T 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 2 on Page 17
Connect the keyboard to the PS-2 keyboard port on the rear of the unit; connect the mouse to the
mouse port. Refer to Figure 2 on page 17. NOTE: If the mouse and keyboard connections are
interchanged, the MAXX 6T may not boot up properly. Be especially careful about this when using
extender cables.
If you own more than one MAXX 6T, it may be appropriate to use a single keyboard, monitor, and
mouse with a KVM switch to select between servers. Not all KVM switching systems are
compatible. The KVM switch must supply an active signal to the Image Server at all times, even
when switched away from it. When first powering up the MAXX 6T, use only the supplied
keyboard and mouse directly connected. Then test the KVM switch system that will be used
thoroughly before installation is completed.
Installing the Hard Drives
MAXX 6T uses twelve, 500 GB drives in its 6 Terabyte RAID 6 array. These are packaged in a
separate carton inside the main carton. The drives are fully configured and ready to run the MAXX
6T application. It is important that the drives be installed in the correct positions in the RAID
array. Each drive has a number affixed to its packaging material. Install each drive in the
corresponding numbered bay according to Figure 1.
Deploy the drive bay door by loosening the knurled screws and pulling lightly forward and down.
Install each hard drive in the corresponding numbered slot as follows.
1. Open the blue locking lever by pulling forward slightly
2. Insert the drive in the bay by sliding it in till you feel it “seat”
3. Close the locking lever.
