4. Do the SiteConfig Check Software operation on the server.
   Note: If an "Unable to copy ... to target" error appears for a device that has the Grass Valley Embedded Security solution, apply the Embedded Security solution one-time initial deployment process to the device. After the one-time process is complete the error does not appear and it is no longer necessary to put Embedded Security in Update mode.
5. Set deployment tasks to Install for all the files listed above except when installing Render Engine software, do not install the Render Engine cab file yet. If a WFRegMon install task appears, install it as well. It is required to support Grass Valley software installers. There is no uninstall task.
6. Deploy software that is not Render Engine software to the server.
7. Restart as prompted.
8. When installing Render Engine software, do the following:
   1. Set deployment tasks to Install for the Render Engine cab file.
   2. Deploy Render Engine software to the server.
      Note: Expect long deployment times when installing Render Engine software. It can take several minutes to install. Allow the installation to complete. Do not attempt to stop the installation.
9. Restart as prompted.
