1 Introduction
Follow this guide to fit the Acano Server into a rack, fit the power supplies, connect the cables,
and power up. It also tells you how to achieve basic network connectivity with the Acano solution
Release 1.1 software. See the Deployment Guide for other set up and configuration information.
1.1 Before You Start
1.1.1 Safety information
WARNING: Read the information at www.acano.com/safety. There you will find
essential safety information to protect you and the equipment.
The Acano Server weighs approximately 23 kg / 51 lbs.
Do not attempt to lift it on your own at any time.
Do not place it on top of any other equipment.
Do not support it on the rack ears alone; they are not designed to be load-bearing.
The power units do not have an on/off switch; the server will power on as soon as power is
connected. Therefore do not do so until instructed.
DC power option only: See Appendix A for additional safety information.
1.1.2 You will need the following equipment
The Acano Server comes with most of the components you need.
The shipping box contains:
One Acano Server
A box containing two power supplies
A box containing power cables for various countries, a serial cable, two rack ears and
accessories
Note: If you are using AC power and none of the supplied power cables are approved for
your location, you will need to provide them.
A box containing two rack rails. (These rails are not left- or right-handed but are packed in
the correct installation orientation relative to the Acano Server so be sure to maintain the
correct orientation from back to front.)
However, you must provide the following:
A 2U space in a 4-post rack

Up to five Ethernet patch cables. The cabling required depends on your network speed and
the length of the cable run: 10GBASE-T: Cat 6 (patch) or Cat 6A, 1000BASE-T: Cat 5e, Cat

2.2 Status Light Descriptions
This section describes the behavior of the Acano Server status lights (LEDs).
2.2.1 Front panel LEDs
There are four LEDs on the front of the Acano Server: OK, Warning, Power Supply A and Power
Supply B. They have the following behavior.
OK
Blue: normal operation
Warning
If on (red), check the cause urgently in the Web Admin Interface Status > General page.
Supply A/B
Blue: power supply is operating normally
Flashing quickly: power supply is present but not functioning (i.e. not plugged in)
Flashing slowly: power supply is not present
Note: If either power supply LED is flashing; check the cause urgently in the Web Admin
Interface Status > General page.
2.2.2 Back panel LEDs
All five Ethernet ports (Admin and A to D) have the same LED behavior:

3 Hardware Installation
Note: From end November 2013 the Acano Server ships with two rack rails –and this guide
reflects that. The rack rails are not available for older Acano Servers: if you need an older
version of the Installation Guide contact support@acano.com.
1. Check that the rack sides are parallel and adjust them if necessary.
2. Open the Acano Server packaging; remove the two small boxes and then with another
person, using the handles provided, lift the server out of the box and onto a strong flat
surface.
3. Open the accessories box and find:
12 x M4 screws for fixing the ears and rails to the server
12 x M5 cage nuts and 12 x M5 screws for fixing the rails and ears into the rack
4. Lift the rack rails out of the packaging, noting the orientation in each case; that is, which end
goes at the front of the server.
5. Adjust the length of the rack rails to fit the depth of your rack. This may require repositioning
the two screws holding the rear bracket on each rack rail. Tighten the screws securely.
6. Separate the rack rail inner section (which fits to the server) from the rack rail outer section
using the release latch.
7. Screw one rack rail inner section to the appropriate side of the Acano Server using the
supplied M4 screws (see figure 3). Repeat for the other side.
Figure 3: Fitting inside rail components to the Acano Server sides
8. Using a Philips screwdriver fit the rack ears, one on each side of the server at the front using
the remaining M4 screws (see figure 3).

9. Attach the outer rail section to the sides of
the rack using the supplied M5 screws and
cage nuts (see figure 4). Use two screws
at the back and two screws at the front of
each rail (eight in total).
Figure 4: Cage nut locations for the rack rails
10. With another person, lift the server up to
the rack and slide the two rail sections
together on each side.
11. Secure the server in the rack with the rack
ears using two M5 screws for each rack
ear.
Note: Do not support the Acano Server
on the rack ears alone.
12. Unpack the box containing the two power supplies. They are identical.
13. Move to the back of the rack and slide the power supplies fully into the Power A and B slots
in the back of the server until they latch (see Figure 2).
Notes:
Do not connect power to the server at this time.
DC power option only: See Appendix A for DC wiring instructions. Do not switch on the
power at this time.
14. Connect a network cable to the Admin interface and to your administrator network.
This interface is used to set up time servers and to upgrade the software version. (Both are
outside the scope of this Installation Guide.) Connections to the Admin interface are via SSH
or SFTP.
15. Connect a network cable to the A interface and to your production or testing network.
This media interface is also used for access to the Web Admin Interface and therefore for
server configuration. An HTTPS connection is required –attempting to connect using HTTP
will fail. A certificate is required –as explained in later sections.
Note: Interfaces A to D will operate at the speed of the network switch that they are
connected to. If you are using a speed of 10G be sure to use the appropriate cable for the

speed and cable length. The interface LEDs show which speed is in use. See the section,
LED descriptions.
16. If required, connect the other interfaces (B to D).
