Chapter 3 – Installation & Configuration
Installation Overview
The installation and set up of an FS-HDR is very simple. Plug both AC supply
cords into AC mains power (separate branch circuits for redundancy), connect the
LAN connector to a LAN, WAN or local computer with a web-browser, and then
connect source and destination video and audio equipment.
NOTE: The AJA FS-HDR should be plugged into 3-wire 100-240 VAC 50/60 Hz power
Warning! To meet safety regulations for leakage current and to ensure redundancy
in the event that a branch circuit breaker shuts off a branch, connect the dual
power supplies to separate branch circuits.
Installation Summary
All the steps of installation and configuration are documented in this chapter and
are summarized as follows:
1. Unpack the shipping box, removing the FS-HDR and two power cords.
2. Install any physical options, such as SFP I/O modules.
3. Mount the physical chassis as desired: front rack, rear rack, or desk mount.
If you are mounting multiple FS-HDR units, try to place them visually in the
same area so you can use an attached computer to turn on and see the ID
LED of the FS-HDR you're communicating with. For physical installation
details see
4. Connect the two FS-HDR power cords to mains AC. For redundancy, use
both power supplies and connect them to separate branch circuits so that
the FS-HDR will continue to operate even if a circuit breaker opens on one
branch.
5. If you plan to use remote control, connect your computer to the FS-HDR
directly using an Ethernet cable, or connect both the computer and the
FS-HDR to a local area network through an appropriate hub or router. Also
set the FS-HDR IP address in the menus, and then use a computer to test
(ping) the FS-HDR over the network connection to verify communication.
For details, see
6. Install a web browser on the computer, if not already present, for accessing
the FS-HDR web pages. You can access the pages simply by entering the
FS-HDR IP address in the browser address field. See
page
7. Connect the FS-HDR to system audio and video sources, including VTRs,
monitors, DVD players, video switchers, and audio mixers. For details,
see"System Cabling" on page 33
8. Test the FS-HDR with all of your devices to verify everything is working.

(autosensing) before you make connections to other equipment. The AC cords
provide a path to ground for accidental static discharge to protect system
equipment. The unit has two fully independent and redundant power supplies
and will operate with one or both AC power cords plugged into the unit. However,
fault-tolerance exists only if both power supplies are connected and plugged into
separate branch circuits. Then if power is lost on a branch or one of the supplies,
the unit will continue to operate on the remaining circuit and power supply.
