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.
