WARNING:
Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or
service this equipment.
CAUTION:
Except for replaceable power supplies and hard drives which may be
accessed from the outside, the Lightspeed Server is a sealed device, with no user-
serviceable parts or user-accessible expansion slots. You should never open the top
cover or attempt to upgrade or alter the server. Doing so exposes you to electrical
hazard, may damage the unit, and may invalidate your warranty. If you have hardware
or software problems with your Lightspeed Server, follow the steps in

Note:
Before proceeding, work with your network administrator to determine
computer and network setting requirements.
Unpacking
The Lightspeed Server arrives packed in a heavy duty cardboard box with foam
padding surrounding the device to protect it. During unpacking, inspect the container
and the contents for damage. If there is any damage, report it immediately to the
freight carrier and to
Telestream Support
.
The server is heavy. Unpack the server on a strong, well-balanced table that can
support the full weight of the server and shipping container without tipping.
Inside the box, you will find the server, optional components such as rack rails and
documentation on paper and flash drive (a DVD is available by request).
