INTRODUCTION
PURPOSE
OF
THIS
DOCUMENT
This
document
is
to
provide
Endura®
‐
certified
integrators
with
a
guideline
of
installation
requirements
for
the
Endura
IP
Video
Management
System
components.
The
Endura
system
is
built
upon
industry
standard
technologies
and
utilizes
Information
Technology
(IT)
grade
components.
As
such,
all
best
practices
for
IT
equipment
site
planning
and
deployment
apply
to
Endura.
Given
the
constant
database
and
file
management
activity
that
is
natural
with
an
IP
video
management
system,
care
must
be
taken
to
avoid
sudden
shutdown
of
any
of
the
components.
As
power
fluctuations
and
disruptions
are
a
common
source
for
un
‐
intentional
equipment
reboots,
conditioned
power
should
be
used
for
all
servers.
As
hard
disk
drive
reliability
is
negatively
impacted
by
temperature
extremes,
care
must
be
taken
to
ensure
that
hard
disk
drives
are
never
exposed
to
elevated
operating
temperatures.
If
either
conditioned
power
or
the
environmental
conditions
of
the
server
room
are
outside
the
specified
limits,
data
corruption
and
equipment
failure
can
occur.
The
Endura
system
should
only
be
turned
on
after
the
power
and
environmental
conditioning
systems
are
fully
tested
and
operational.
WARNING:
Do
not
turn
on
any
Endura
equipment
until
all
of
the
items
suggested
in
this
document
have
been
considered.
Without
adequate
power
and
ventilation
the
Endura
equipment
can
suffer
permanent
damage.
