Task 1: Installing the iControl Application Server
Grass Valley’s Application Server is the hardware at the heart of the iControl system, providing control, monitoring, logging and interface services. The Application Server is a compact 1 RU server that interfaces to other iControl devices over TCP/IP. A user can connect to the Application Server via TCP/IP from any desktop or portable computer.
NOTE: Install the faceplate after the server is placed in a rack. If your Application Server is an older Supermicro model, install the faceplate before the server is placed in a rack. |
1. Place the iControl Application Server in a standard 19” rack, using the rails, screws and washers provided. Make sure that the unit has adequate ventilation.
2. Connect power cords, and then turn the server on. The power switch is located on the front panel.
3. [OPTIONAL] Install the Grass Valley faceplate onto the front of the Application Server by sliding it onto the guide blocks on the side handles, then pushing it in until it clicks into place.
NOTES: |
• An unexpected power disruption, such as might occur during a power failure, can damage the file system on an iControl Application Server. It is strongly recommended that all Application Servers be connected to a standby power source, such as a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), as a preventive measure. |
