START UP

TEST OPERATIONS

After all audio connections are made, a connection to the LAN is established and a video display is
connected to show the media server interface, the SMS3 should be powered up and tested.

POWER UP

Attach the external power supply connector to the SMS3's power jack. Plug the power supply into an
unswitched powered outlet. The SMS3 cannot be plugged into a switched outlet because it can be
damaging to the hard drive when the unit immediately loses power. Sudden losses of power can
cause loss of essential operating data on the hard drive, causing the hard drive to no longer operate.
To power the SMS3, toggle the front panel power switch up; the red power LED will light up. The only
proper way to shut down the media server is to toggle the power switch up, allowing the unit to per-
form a graceful shutdown in four seconds.
When used with the CAV6.6 or CAM6.6 controller, the SMS3 will be power managed by default to dis-
connect all three streams after all zones have been off for 5 minutes.
START UP
It will take a few minutes for the SMS3 to complete its boot-up procedure. During boot-up two beeps
will sound. The first beep indicates a good LAN connection and the second beep indicates a connec-
tion to the DHCP server. Once boot-up is completed, the home page will appear on the local video
display (TV or monitor).
