Precautions when Mounting Picturall Series Media Server
Caution
: Follow these precautions to avoid risks for products and users.
When mounting the server, ensure proper air flow and consider the following points on safe use.
-
Always use at least two people when moving a unit (expect for Compact models).
-
Always use the handles built on the sides of the chassis for easy mounting into any standard rack or
flight case.
-
Remove the front and back panels of the flight case during operation to provide sufficient air flow
through the unit and prevent overheating.
-
Place the server preferably in a cool and dry environment.
-
The fans inside the server expel the heat through the front and rear panels. Therefore, it is crucial
that both the front and the rear are always unobstructed. A minimum of 50 cm (20 in.) of clear space
at the front and rear of the unit is recommended.
-
Do not block the ventilation.
-
Do not place any fluid above or near the server.
-
Do not apply any pressure against the chassis or the connectors.
4.2
Start the Picturall Series Media Server
Caution
: Mark II media servers require 1GB network to maintain a stable connection. Network will not work with 100Mb
connection.
When starting the media server for the first time, a test image with server IP address and display number is
sent to every connected display. This helps identifying displays and checking the setup is correct.
Tip
: Connect all displays before starting the media server for the first time.
To start the Picturall Series Media Server safely and correctly:
1.
Connect the power cable to the server and then plug it into a mains socket.
2.
Connect displays to the media server (at least one display to the first connector).
3.
If configuration is needed, connect a USB keyboard to the USB port on the server front panel.
4.
Press the power button.
Tip
: - If the media server is restarted, close and restart Picturall Commander as well.
- If a new display is connected, restart the server and Picturall Commander.
