ContentServer 1000 or 2000 Series<br />

This section provides an overview of the steps required to mount the <strong>Omneon</strong> <strong>MediaGrid</strong><br />

components on a rack. Ensure that the site is properly prepared, with adequate power, ventilation and<br />

rack space. Refer to Preparing the Site for details.<br />

Note the following important points regarding the rack layout:<br />

• To eliminate any possibility of tipping over, ensure that the equipment rack is securely fastened to<br />

the floor or wall.<br />

• 40 RU (177.8 cm [70 in.]) of vertical rack space is required for a typical system.<br />

Racking Order<br />

1. Rack the devices from the bottom of the rack in the following order:<br />

• ContentServers<br />

• SystemManager<br />

• ContentBridge (optional)<br />

• ContentDirectors<br />

• Network switches (Refer to Racking the Network Switches once you have completed<br />

installation of the other devices.)<br />

2. Install the disk drives into the ContentServers.<br />

3. Connect the network cables.<br />

4. Connect the power cables.<br />
