System Installation with ContentServer 3000 Series Rack Mounting a MediaGrid System with the ContentServer 3000 This section provides an overview of the steps required to mount the Omneon MediaGrid components on a rack. Ensure that the site is properly prepared, with adequate power, ventilation and rack space. Refer to About Site Preparation for details. CAUTION. Rack Precautions: • Safe handling of this system requires at least TWO people. Omneon recommends that you use THREE people to rack mount a system; two to lift and one to help guide the system onto the rack rails. • The ContentServer 3000 and ContentStore 3160 each weigh approximately 75 pounds (34 kg.) with all disk drives installed. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. When lifting, always keep your back straight and lift with your legs. • Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them. • In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together. • Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack. • You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable. • To eliminate any possibility of tipping over, ensure that the equipment rack is securely fastened to the floor or wall. Racking Order Here is an overview of the steps you will complete: 1. Rack the devices from the bottom of the rack in the following order: a. ContentStores b. ContentServers c. SystemManager d. ContentBridge (optional) e. ContentDirectors f. Network switches (Refer to Racking the Network Switches once you have completed installation of the other devices.) 2. Connect the network cables. 3. Connect the power cables. 4. Configure the system. 5. Turn on the devices that have power switches. IMPORTANT: Make sure to leave a space for the SystemManager keyboard/monitor tray. It is recommended that you mount the keyboard monitor and tray 71.12 cm (28.0 in.) off the floor. This height is ideal for using the SystemManager while seated or standing.
