Lightspeed Server Specifications
This topic provides reference information you need to know before you install the
Lightspeed Server and get it up and running on your network.
CAUTION:
The Lightspeed Server is a sealed device, with no user-serviceable parts or
user-accessible expansion slots. You should never open 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 the
Return Material Authorization (RMA)
Procedure
later in this guide to obtain service.
Power Requirements
This supplements power requirements in the SuperMicro Server User’s Guide, Appendix B.
This server is rated at up to 10 amps. Make certain that the power source circuit can
supply 10 amps for any/all devices on the same circuit without overloading it.
CAUTION:
Telestream recommends connecting computer equipment to AC power
through an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with surge protection. Fluctuations in
commercial supply voltage can damage unprotected electronic equipment. A high
quality surge suppressor may be substituted if a UPS is not available, but it may not
provide adequate electrical spike protection.
Operating System Specifications
This supersedes OS specifications in the SuperMicro Server User’s Guide, Chapter 1.
The Lightspeed Server is pre-installed with Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2
Standard Edition 64-bit. Please see the Microsoft website for specifications.
Microsoft Activation Key
A sticker on the top surface of the Lightspeed Server lists license numbers. The number
listed as the Physical Key is the OEM license number for the Microsoft Windows
operating system. If you remove and reinstall the OS, you will need to use this key to
activate Windows again. The number typically contains five groups of five digits, as in
this example: YFG8H-TDD97-6BR4G-F88PF-XXXXX. Enter the Physical Key shown on
your sticker when activating Windows.
Microsoft Updates
The Lightspeed Server ships with the Windows operating system set to check for
updates, but it does not automatically download or install them. Downloading and
installation of critical operating system updates is the responsibility of each individual
customer (see your system administrator).
