System Installation with ContentServer 1000 and 2000 Series Connecting the ContentDirectors to a Network Switch This section provides instructions for connecting the ContentDirectors to the 1GbE network switches. Refer to the following figure when connecting a ContentDirector to a network switch. NOTE: The network switches to which you connect the ContentDirector may differ from those shown below, however, the same port numbers should be used. IMPORTANT: Make sure to use only MediaGrid-qualified switches in your MediaGrid system. To find out if a switch is MediaGrid-qualified, contact your Harmonic representative.

ContentDirectors and Network Switch Connections To connect the ContentDirectors to network switches: 1. Starting with the first ContentDirector, connect a yellow Ethernet cable to NIC 3. Connect the other end of the cable to port 45 on the second network switch. 2. Connect a black Ethernet cable to NIC 2 on the ContentDirector. Connect the other end of the cable to port 45 on the first network switch. 3. Connect a white Ethernet cable to NIC 0 on the ContentDirector. Connect the other end of the cable to port 41 on the first network switch. 4. Connect a blue Ethernet cable to NIC 1 on the ContentDirector. Connect the other end of the cable to port 41 on the second network switch. 5. Connect the remaining ContentDirectors in the same manner, continuing from port 42 on the network switches. 74 Installation and Configuration Guide
