3.3 INSTALLATION
3.3.1 GX SERVER INSTALLATION AND GHOST RESTORE
The EVS staff will perform the initial installation of the GX server before the
server is delivered.
When the server is installed, a ghost image of the installed GX server is created in
the Restore folder (R: drive).
If you need to restore the ghost, please contact EVS support.
3.3.2 SWITCHING ON VERSUS STARTING THE SERVER
When the server is properly cabled, you switch it on using the power switch on the
front panel. Switching on the server does not mean starting the server.
Once the server is switched on, you still need to start it to allow external
controllers to connect to the GX server and to access the GX clips for playout. For
more information, refer to the section 4.2.5 ‘Starting the GX server’, on page 19.
Before you can start the server, you need to make sure that:
• The server is properly configured for the external controllers to access the GX
clips.
• The GX clips have been created on the GX server, and are online, ready for
playout.
All these steps are covered in the Installation and Operation sections.
