Installation
Summary
All the steps of installation and configuration are documented in this chapter and are
summarized as follows:
1. Unpack the shipping box, removing the FS2 and two power cords.
2. Install any physical options, such as fiber optic I/O modules or Dolby I/O cards.
3. Mount the physical chassis as desired: front rack, rear rack, or desk mount. If you are
mounting multiple FS2 units, try to place them visually in the same area so you can
use an attached computer to turn on and see the
ID
LED of the FS2 you’re
communicating with. For physical installation details, see
.
4. Connect the two FS2 power cords to mains AC. For redundancy, use both power
supplies and connect them to separate branch circuits so that the FS2 will continue
to operate even if a circuit breaker opens on one branch.
5. If you plan to use remote control, connect your computer to the FS2 directly using an
Ethernet cable, or connect both the computer and the FS2 to a local area network
through an appropriate hub or router. Also set the FS2 IP address in the menus, and
then use a computer to test (ping) the FS2 over the network connection to verify
communication. For details, see
6. Install a web browser on the computer, if not already present, for accessing the FS2
web pages. You can access the pages simply by entering the FS2 IP address in the
browser address field. See
“Web Browser Control” on page 33
for details.
Warning!
Since the Mains plug is used as the disconnection for the device, it must remain
readily accessible and operable.
Warning!
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the device.
Warning!
To meet safety regulations for leakage current, connect the FS2 dual power supplies
to separate branch circuits.
Warning!
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
device has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, the device has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
