2 Connecting the Hardware
Now that you have been introduced to NPort Server Lite's features and
specifications, it’s time to set up the hardware. We cover the following topics in
this chapter:
❑ Choosing a Location
• Desktop
• Wall or Cabinet
• DIN Rail
❑ Network Connection
❑ Power Connection
❑ Serial Connection
Choosing a Location
There are three placement options available. NPort Server Lite can be:
• placed on a desktop,
• fixed to a wall or inside a cabinet, or
• fixed to a 35-mm DIN Rail.
Desktop
One option is to place NPort Server Lite on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop.
There are four rubber pads attached to the bottom of the server, and we
recommend leaving sufficient room between NPort Server Lite and neighboring
equipment to create enough clearance for air to circulate.
You should also remember not to put anything on top of NPort Server Lite, since
this could damage the internal components and obscure the server’s LCD panel.
