System Installation with ContentServer 1000 and 2000 Series Connect the client computers to any of the ports on network switch module A only. Connecting the Power Cables With all of the network cable connections completed, connect the power cables as detailed in the following order. IMPORTANT: Do not turn on any equipment yet. System Configuration includes instructions for powering on each Omneon MediaGrid device. To connect the power cables: 1. The 1042 ContentServers have power switches on the back. Ensure that they are off. The 2122 and 2124 ContentServers do not have power switches — they power up when they are connected to a power source. Connect the power cable to the ContentServer Power connector(s). Do not plug the cords into power sources yet. 2. The SystemManager has a Power connector on the back. Connect the power cable to the SystemManager power connector. 3. The ContentBridges have a Power switch on the back. If part of the system, connect the power cable to the ContentBridge Power connector. 4. The ContentDirectors have two power supplies. To take full advantage of the ContentDirector’s dual redundant power supplies, ensure that separate, isolated power sources are available. Connect the power cords to the ContentDirector’s two power connectors. Do not plug the cords into power sources yet. 5. The Harmonic-provided network switches do not have power switches — they power up when they are connected to a power source. Connect the power cords to the network switches’ power connectors. Do not plug the cords into power sources yet. Next Steps Refer to System Configuration to set up the Omneon MediaGrid system’s devices using the customer-specific configuration information. 82 Installation and Configuration Guide
