5. Press the Power switch located on TriCaster’s faceplate.
At this point, the blue Power LED will illuminate, and the adjacent hard drive activity light should
flicker as the device boots up. (If this does not happen, check your connections and retry).
Hint: Though not a requirement, we do strongly recommend that you connect TriCaster using an
uninterruptable power supply (UPS), as for any ‘mission critical’ system. Likewise, consider A/C
“power conditioning”, especially in situations where local power is unreliable or ‘noisy’.
Surge protection is especially important in some locales. Power conditioners can reduce wear on
TriCaster’s power supplies and other electronics, and provide a further measure of protection
from surges, spikes, lightning and high voltage.
3.2 ACTIVATING & AUTHORIZING WINDOWS™
(Your dealer may have performed this operation for you as part of his pre-delivery service.)
When you see the ‘
Welcome to Windows ’ screen:
1. Click Next at lower right.
2. Choose your time zone.
3. Accept the license agreement.
4. Enter your 25-digit key (on some models, the sticker is on the bottom of the case).
5. Decline automatic updates (by clicking “not right now”).
6. Give TriCaster a distinct computer name for networking.
You can authorize your Windows installation by network or by telephone. Assuming you have an
Internet connection available, and have connected TriCaster to it with an Ethernet cable, the
Internet is the fastest method of activation. (See Section 3.14 and Chapter 14 for more on
network connections.)
7. Click ‘Obtain IP and DNS automatically’.
8. Agree to activate Windows. This activation is permanent, and you won’t see these
screens again. (Registration with Microsoft is optional).
9. Assign a name to the administrator account. You may type your name, company, or
perhaps simply “TCXD”.
10. Click Finish , and you system will re-start.
