Users can install the IPVT10 in a 19-inch cabinet that conforms to the IEC (International Electro-Technical Commission) 60297 standards.

1. The IPVT10 server is heavy and we suggest carrying it with two people at least.
2. If the cabinet has been installed, then suggest a space of at least “2U” (1U=44.45mm) to be reserved.
3. Users can select the regular rail for installation or optional installation.

Example:

Rail structure: It is composed of inner rail, outer rail, and rail holder. The inner rail and the outer rail are connected, and they cannot be split. They are mounted on the cabinet through the rail holder; the inner rail is installed on the server equipment (Rails and Rail Holders are not included within the package contents).

Steps:

1. Remove the rail holder and the rails by loosening the 4 screws first, and then removing the front and back rail holders.
2. Install the inner rail to the server case. Pull the inner rail out of the rail until it cannot be pulled.
3. Fix the inner rail with 2 screws to the server case. Fit the smooth surface of the inner rail to the side of the server case and match the screw holes on the inner rail with the screw holes on the server case. Hold the inner rail tightly against the server case and tighten with the screws.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to install the other inner rail on the other side of the server case.
5. Install the rail holder to the cabinet. Make sure the installation position of the front rail holder on the cabinet, align the two fixing holes between the rail holder and the cabinet corner and tighten the screws. Then, according to the depth of the cabinet (the depth of the cabinet is 650mm), adjust the back-rail holder properly, align the two fixing holes between the back-rail holder and the cabinet corner at the back of the cabinet, tighten the screws. (Note: Please make sure that the front and back rail holders are horizontal).
6. Repeat the above steps to install the other front and back rail holders in the cabinet. (Note: Please make sure that the left and right-side rails are horizontal).
7. Lift the server up and close to the cabinet so that the back of the server faces the front of the cabinet. Insert the inner rails on the two sides of the server into the front and back rail holders on the cabinet, align the fixing holes and tighten the screws.
8. When the installation is completed, push the server into the cabinet.

TYPICAL NETWORK SOLUTIONS

Users could select the network solutions based on the actual requirements. There are several scenarios:

Scenario 1: Internal Network

The server is deployed on the internal network. The users use the service via an internal network. Users need to configure the internal network IP address for the server. If users register accounts and start conferences on the internal network, and other participants are all on the internal network, users could only deploy the server on the internal network, and only configure the internal network adapter. For example, users could configure this server in private networks.

Scenario 2: External Network

The server is deployed on the external network. Users could access the server via the public network. Users need to configure the external network IP address in the server. If users register accounts and start conferences on the public network, and other participants are all on the public network, users could only deploy the server on the public network and configure the public network adapter.

Scenario 3: External Users to Internal Server

The server is deployed on the internal network for external users. The users need to use the service via the public network. In this case, users need to configure the external network IP address and static NAT in the server. If the server is deployed on the internal network, and all participants need to use the service via a public network, users need to configure the static NAT to ensure that certain public networks can access the server. Users could configure the External Network Adapter and NAT to complete the configuration. This deployment does not support users to access the server directly via the internal network. Otherwise, it may cause abnormal issues for the conferences.

Scenario 4: Internal Network and External Network

The server is deployed on the internal network. The users could access and use the service via either an internal network or an external network. In this case, users need to configure both the internal network and external network in the server and routing rules. Users need to configure both Internal Network Adapter and External Network Adapter.

Scenario 5: Internal Network and some External Users

The server is deployed on the internal network. Users could access and use the service via an internal network and limit certain public IP addresses to be able to access the server.
