Software Configuration
All blades are independently configurable using the IP address and the VBAdmin
management program. In all respects, blade software configuration is identical to appliance
software configuration. See the
H.264 Appliance Admin Guide for details about all
configurable parameters. To identify the blade by slot number, launch VBAdmin, go to the
Monitor > System page, and note the
Slot ID
(see below). The blades are numbered 1–11
from left to right. If service is ever required, scroll down to the
Add-on Boards
table (Slot 1
only) for manufacturing data associated with the backplane.
Maintenance
Power Supplies
The Rack Mount Shelf has dual, hot-swappable AC input power supplies (Figure 8). An LED
and an audible alarm will indicate if either of the power supplies has failed. If a power supply
fails, contact VBrick for a replacement as soon as possible. Do not attempt to repair a power
supply as this will invalidate the warranty. Although the shelf will operate with a failed power
supply, a redundant power supply will ensure there is no downtime in the future.
Note Before installing blades, you may want to install ground screws (not included) in the
unpainted area on each side of enclosure. Use #10-32 machine screws to attach earth
ground. When rack-mounting, you can also adjust the mounting ears on each side of
the unit if necessary.
