System Installation with ContentServer 1000 and 2000 Series About File System Replication Factors For MediaGrid systems with the ContentServer 1000 and 2000 series, Harmonic recommends that you set the replication factor for your system at the default of 3 or, at minimum 2. Setting the replication factor to 1 means that no replication of the data in your file system will take place, and is not recommended. If the replication factor for your system is set to 1, in the case of system or disk failure (even one disk), your data will not be recoverable. For instructions on setting the replication factor, refer to Setting Replication Factors for File Systems in the Omneon SystemManager User Guide. About Site Preparation Note the following prerequisites for installation of your Omneon MediaGrid System. Preparing the Site Note the following prerequisites for installation of a Omneon MediaGrid storage system: • Environmental Omneon equipment is designed to operate in a clean, air-conditioned control room environment. Care must be taken to avoid temperature and humidity extremes. • Power When connecting equipment, care must be taken to avoid power lines that are subject to noise and voltage spikes. Do not install units on a power circuit that is common to such equipment as air conditioners and refrigeration units. For optimum protection, AC noise filters and surge protectors are recommended if unstable power conditions are present. • Site A full Omneon MediaGrid enclosure weighs approximately 1000 pounds (plus the weight of the enclosure rack). This weight is calculated as three ContentDirectors, two 1GbE switches, one 10GbE switch, one SystemManager and 30 ContentServers. Omneon MediaGrid equipment is designed for rack mounting. Refer to Rack Mounting an MediaGrid System with the ContentServer 1000 or 2000 Series for recommendations on how to mount the Omneon MediaGrid components. 60 Installation and Configuration Guide
