GX Server Installation and Ghost Restore
The EVS staff will perform the initial installation of the GX server before the server is
delivered.
When the server is installed, a ghost image of the installed GX server is created in the
Restore folder (R: drive).
If you need to restore the ghost, please contact EVS support.
3.3.2
Switching on versus Starting the Server
When the server is properly cabled, you switch it on using the power switch on the front
panel. Switching on the server does not mean starting the server.
Once the server is switched on, you still need to start it to allow external controllers to
connect to the GX server and to access the GX clips for playout. For more information,
refer to the section 4.2.5 'Starting the GX Server', on page 23.
Before you can start the server, you need to make sure that:
•
The server is properly configured for the external controllers to access the GX clips.
•
The GX clips have been created on the GX server, and are online, ready for playout.
All these steps are covered in the Installation and Operation sections.
