1.1 Scope
The following instructions apply to the electrician who is
responsible for the physical installation activities (only) of a
SmartSERVER.
Information on other aspects of the installation including C-Bus
and Network integration can be found within the SmartSERVER
Instruction manual, document 001-10036.
1.2 Physical Installation
1.2.1 Before you start
Prior to commencing a SmartSERVER installation ensure that
your intended approach will satisfy all of the following
considerations detailed in this section:
• C-Bus connection
• Ethernet Connection
• Power Source
• Location, Access and Security
C-Bus connection
The SmartSERVER requires access to a wired C-Bus system in
a manner similar to that required by a Clipsal C-Bus wall switch
– two terminations are required at a pluggable connection
provided at the rear.
Ethernet Connection
A connection to a local wired ethernet or fast ethernet network
is required. This is provided at the front of the unit by a standard
RJ style connector (as is typically present on Cat 5e and Cat 6
patch cables).
SmartSERVER includes an auto MDIX feature so cross over
cables are never required (but can be used at any time).
Power Source
SmartSERVER requires a 5V DC input for operation. This can
be provided to the front facing barrel style connector by:
• Suitably rated 5V plug pack or similar supply
• USB to barrel connector cable. USB3 sources will,
and most USB2.0 interfaces, can provide sufficient
current (The later meaning it may be possible to
power SmartSERVER off an unused router USB port)
NOT E: Consider the total curr ent dra w of oth er
devices (if pres ent ) f rom a USB router or power ed
hub to con fir m s ufficie nt capacity r ema ins.
Correlate carries a range of accessories that can help you
professionally complete any installation. Please visit our website

IMP ORTANT: Is is li kely a genera l powe r o utl et (GPO) will also

IT equipme nt.
Location, Access and Security
SmartSERVER is designed for indoor use only. It does not in
itself generate any appreciable heat nor require convection for
cooling. The selected location must afford occasional front
panel access ..
Common suitable locations include:

• wall mounting near a wired ethernet connection and
GPO
• within a communications cabinet
Unsuitable locations include:
• areas of high electromagnetic radiation
• corrosive, explosive or highly dusty environments
• close proximity to medical apparatus or similarly
sensitive equipment
• anywhere where the SmartSERVERs rated
parameters (Section 1.3) will be exceeded
WARNING : Always selec t a location which complie s with local
bui ldi ng codes and reg ula tio ns, a nd ensure cabling sepa rat ion
req uirements are m et. Typi cally equ ipment of th is typ e, as we ll
as other I T equipmen t s hould n ot be i nst alled with in a mains

1.2.2 Mounting Preparation (Step 1)
The method of fixing the SmartSERVER is via two mounting
screws spaced at 84mm centres. This is compatible with the
standard spacing used by Australian and New Zealand switch
plates and other mounting accessories.
Orientation of the SmartSERVER can be determined to best
suit the installation position, however note that front panel
artwork runs horizontally.
The two screws provided have sufficient reach for a mounting
bracket present at the rear of a gyprock cavity wall (Illustration
1).
C-Bus cable entry is from the rear, meaning that on solid walls a
suitable wall box cavity must be present, or a mounting block
affixed to the wall. Non-standard configurations will need to be
addressed by the installation professional on a case by base
basis.
1.2.3 C-Bus Cable Termination (Step 2)
It is recommended the C-Bus cable termination and fitting of the
connector be completed immediately prior to installation of the
SmartSERVER, and after application of all finishes to the
mounting surface.
Untwist the 2 cable pairs identified in Table 1. The other twisted
pairs present are not used for the SmartSERVER installation
and should remain unterminated.
C-Bus Connection Colour
C-Bus positive (+) blue
C-Bus negative (-) blue & white
C-Bus positive (+) orange
C-Bus negative (-) orange & white
Table 1: C-Bus cable colour code
Now strip approximately 7mm of insulation off each of the four
wires of interest being careful not to nick the centre conductor.
Combine the positive and negative C-Bus cables are shown in
Illustration 2. A crimp ferule as used by other C-Bus products
can be optionally applied to the cable ends, but is not required.
WARNING : Cable out er j acket not to be strippe d back f urther
tha n shown in Il lus tration 2 (requir ed for SELV complianc e).
Sufficiently loosen the two connector screws to allow the cable
(with or without crimp ferule) to be inserted. Insert the cables
maintaining the polarity as shown in Illustration 3 and securely
tighten.
IMP ORTANT: Ensure the C-Bus wires are cor rec tly paired
tog ether and te rmi nated to the correct locatio ns o n th e
pro vided conn ect or.
