Powering up
Powering up
Power up your Spectrum system devices in the order described.
NOTE:
The network on which the Spectrum system is installed should have a DHCP
server enabled to assign IP addresses. If you do not have a DHCP server on your network,
contact Harmonic Technical Support for assistance.
1. For the MediaDirector 2252B, 2252B-DS, and 2251B only: apply power to the MediaStore as follows.
a. Ensure that all MediaStore modules are firmly seated in their correct bays.
b. Apply power to each MediaStore.
c. Turn each PCM switch to
ON
.
On the Operators Panel, the Alarm beeps once, all LEDs flash for seven seconds, then the Alarm
double beeps. After the double beep, during normal operation, the System Power LED on the
Operators Panel should be lit solid green and the disk drive motors should start.
Before continuing, on the MediaStores, ensure that all drive Activity LEDs have stopped blinking. This
indicates that the MediaStore drives have properly spun up and have reached speed.
NOTE:
The entire system should have power applied within 10 seconds. If this
cannot be done, power up MediaStores first followed as quickly as possible by
MediaDirectors.
IMPORTANT:
Both power supplies should be used for optimum performance. When
the MediaStore is powered up with only a single power supply, drive spin-up can take
up to two minutes. When both power supplies are used, spin-up takes approximately
30 seconds.
IMPORTANT:
There are rare instances when a MediaStore is unresponsive after
power up. If this happens, note the status of the LEDs on the MediaStore. After
several minutes, the LEDs should come to a stable and a non-blinking state, provided
the system is quiescent and the drives or RAID sets contained therein have not been
put into a Wink state by the SystemManager application. If the drives are blinking,
the MediaStore should be powered off (both power supplies turned off), and then
powered on again.
2. For MediaCenter 2200B systems with the MediaStore 7200: Connect the power cords to power
sources on the MediaStore 7200. Press the power button on the front panel.
3. Apply power to your Ethernet hub or switch.
4. Apply power to the SystemManager platform and the Keyboard/Monitor Tray, or client PC.
5. Log on to SystemManager.
a. When the Welcome to Windows dialog appears on the SystemManager display, press
CTRL
+
ALT
+
DEL
.
b. When the
Log on to Windows
dialog appears, type
Administrator
as the user, type
omneon
as
the password and press Enter. Both entries are case sensitive. The SystemManager will now start
up all network services and attempt to assign IP addresses.
c. If an error message appears indicating that a network connection is missing, acknowledge the
message by clicking
OK
, and continue with the power-up sequence.
6. Apply power to each MediaDirector, MediaCenter, or Spectrum X in your system by connecting the
AC cords to separate, isolated power sources.
7. Check the status indicators for your Spectrum server.
