2.1.1 Acano Server-specific prerequisites
 A suitable environment: refer to the Hardware/Environmental Data Sheet for details on the
required power and cooling
 The Acano Server has two power modules, and country-specific power cables are supplied
for the AC power supplies. At installation you must connect both cables to a power supply
socket to implement power supply redundancy, but the server will work with just a single
power unit connected
Note: A DC power option is available.
 3U of rack space if installing on a shelf); 2U if using the rack mounting kit
 A minimum of two Ethernet links:
 One for the MMP (labeled Admin on the back of the Acano Server). The speed can be
100M or 1G
 One for a media interface (there are four labeled A to D). The speed can be 1G or10G. If
you intend to deploy in a configuration where you need the Acano clients accessible
from outside of the company you can also use B to D, as described in this document
All Ethernet links need static IP addresses (unless using DHCP). They will operate at the
speed of the network switch; the switch port should be set to “Auto”. If you are using a speed
of 10G be sure to use the appropriate cable.
Note: Any two interfaces of Acano solution must not be put into same subnet. The only the
exception is that the ADMIN interface of a physical Acano Server can be on the same
subnet as one of the other interfaces (A to D)—and is probably a common deployment.
See the Acano solution Server Installation Guide for full details.
2.1.2 Virtualized deployment-specific prerequisites
 A qualified host server with some specific resources. See the Acano solution Virtualized
Deployment Installation Guide for full details. The Acano solution will not run or will give very
poor service on older virtualized hosts
 XMPP license file. (You should already have provided the MAC address of the interface on
which you enabled the XMPP server to Acano and this is used to create the license file.)
Contact [e-mail] if you do not have this file already
Note: Any two interfaces of Acano solution must not be put into same subnet. The only the
exception is that the ADMIN interface of a physical Acano Server can be on the same subnet as
one of the other interfaces (A to D) (see above).
