Frequently Asked Questions - SNTEP154 SONY

What are the basic steps to set up the SNTEP154 server?

Connect the server to a power source and network. Attach a monitor and keyboard to the front ports. Power on and follow the BIOS setup to configure RAID and boot order. Install your operating system via USB or network. Finally, configure the IPMI management interface.

How do I access the IPMI management interface?

Ensure the server is connected to a network. Open a web browser and enter the default IP address (192.168.1.100) with username 'admin' and password 'password'. Change the password on first login. For details, refer to the IPMI setup section of the manual.

What type of RAM is supported?

The server supports DDR4 ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory. It comes with 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) and can be expanded up to 128 GB using 8 slots. Use only registered or load-reduced DIMMs for compatibility.

Can I upgrade the storage?

Yes, the storage is upgradeable. The server has two hot-swappable 2.5-inch SATA bays. You can replace the existing 2 TB drives with larger ones or add SSDs. Ensure drives are supported by the RAID controller.

What security features does the server have?

The server includes a TPM 2.0 module for trusted boot and encryption key storage. It also features chassis intrusion detection that logs any physical access. The IPMI interface supports secure LDAP/AD authentication.

How do I perform a factory reset?

To reset to factory defaults, power on the server and press F2 during boot to enter the BIOS. Select 'Load Optimized Defaults' and save changes. For IPMI reset, use the front-panel reset button or the IPMI web interface.

What is the power consumption?

Typical power consumption is around 250W under normal load, with a maximum of 450W. The dual 750W PSUs provide redundancy; each PSU can handle the full load. Use a UPS for stable power.

How to replace a failed hard drive?

Identify the failed drive via the front-panel LED indicator. Press the release button to unlock the drive carrier. Slide the carrier out, remove the old drive, and insert a new SATA drive. Reinsert the carrier until it locks. The RAID controller will rebuild automatically.

Does the server support virtualization?

Yes, the processor supports Intel VT-x and VT-d, enabling hardware-assisted virtualization. The server is compatible with hypervisors like VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM. Ensure you enable virtualization in BIOS.

What is the warranty period?

The Sony SNTEP154 comes with a standard 3-year limited warranty covering parts and labor. Extended warranty options are available. For warranty claims, contact Sony support with your proof of purchase and serial number.

Precautions for Preventing Access to the Camera by an Unintended Third Party

The camera may be accessed by an unintended third party on the network, depending on the usage environment. Changing the user name and password of the camera administrator from the default settings is highly recommended for security reasons. If the camera is accessed by an unintended third party, there may be an undesired effect, such as operations or settings to block monitoring, etc.

The camera can be fraudulently accessed in a network environment where a device is connected or connectable to the network without the administrator's permission, or a PC or other network device connected to the network can be used without any permission. Connect to these environments at your own risk. To prevent unauthorized access to the camera, set it according to the following steps.

Do not use the browser you use to set the camera to access other websites while you set or after setting the camera. You will remain logged in to the camera as long as the browser is open, so to prevent an unintended third party's use or execution of malicious programs, close the browser after you finish setting the camera.

How to set up

1 Set the network address of the camera using SNC toolbox.

For details about how to use SNC toolbox, refer to the application guide.

After this step, do not use SNC toolbox to change the network settings of the camera. Use SNC toolbox to search for the camera only.

2 Start the web browser and set the SSL function to Enable in the camera settings.

For details, refer to “Setting the Security — Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page 49.

3 Restart the web browser and access the camera again.

4 Set the user name and password of the administrator of the camera. For details, refer to “Setting the Security — Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page 49.

5 Check the Referer check checkbox. For details, refer to “Setting the Security — Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page 49.

6 When you use the e-Mail (SMTP) function, set the TLS function to On. Use a mail server that supports the TLS function.

For details, refer to “Sending an Image via E-mail — e-Mail (SMTP) Menu” in the Administrator menu on page 53.

Hereafter, use the camera using the SSL connection. When you use the FTP server or the FTP client function, use them in an environment where the network cannot be intercepted by a third party. The SSL connection cannot be used for the FTP server or the FTP client function.

Note

The model on sale in China does not support the SSL function.

graph TD
    A["Supplicant (video network station)"] --> B["Authenticator (hub, router or access point)"]
    B --> C["Authentication server + CA"]

Supplicant

A supplicant is a device that connects to the authentication server to join the network. This unit serves as a supplicant in the 802.1X network. The supplicant can enter the 802.1X network after appropriate authentication by the authentication server.

Authenticator

An authenticator forwards certificate request data or response data that the supplicant or authentication server issues to the other party. Normally a hub, router or access point serves as an authenticator.

Authentication server

An authentication server has a database of connecting users and verifies if the supplicant is a valid user or not. It can also be called RADIUS server.

CA (Certificate Authority)

A CA issues and manages certificates of the authentication server (CA certificates) and user certificates. The CA is essential for certificate-based user authentication. Normally a CA is located inside an authentication server.

Note

This camera supports EAP mode in which the supplicant and the server authenticate using the certificate. This mode requires a CA to issue the certificate.
