System information including the serial number, OS version, SMS version, network and storage
information can also be seen on the Control Panel UI.
NOTE:
The
Refresh status
button is used to manually refresh the status of the hard disks in the
server. This button should not be pressed during playback to prevent disruption of playback.
WARNING:
Do not press the
ON/OFF
button for more than 2 seconds when in the
Control
Panel
menu to prevent accidental shutdown of the system. This may cause a hard reset and
any running applications will be terminated without visual warning.
The SMS software continues to run in the background when using the Control Panel. This
allows access to other server functions when playback is in progress. It is recommended that
these functions be used very sparingly to avoid unnecessary system load that can potentially
affect playback performance.
