Installing a Media Server
Before You Begin
Keep the shipping
boxes that come with
your Windows client.
You might need to
repackage and ship the
components in the
future.
Before you begin to install the Media Server, do the following:
• Unpack the Media Server kit.
• Check the contents of the Media Server kit against the packing
sticker on the outside of the shipping box to confirm you have
received all the components.
After you unpack your Media Server kit, make sure the kit contains:
• One Media Server with a 2-Gb optical Fibre Channel adapter
board and an Ethernet adapter board.
•One optical SFP.
• One Media Server software kit containing:
-The Avid Unity MediaNet Media Server Setup Guide, this manual
-An Avid Unity MediaNet Windows Fibre Channel Client Quick
Start Card
- The Avid Unity MediaNet Release software CD-ROM
n
Avid does not supply an optical cable with the Windows client kit. You must
supply the cable separately.
Installing the Media Servers
A Media Server allows you to stream media files to your in-house
network or to the Internet. It receives requests for the files to stream
and works with the File Manager to locate the files on the MediaNet
storage.
Media Servers ship with a Fibre Channel adapter board and a gigabit
network board already installed. They also have an autosensing power
supply that sets the voltage correctly for either 120 volts or 240 volts.
