Installing Blade Encoders
The VBrick Rack Mount Shelf is a customized enclosure that
accepts VBrick blades only. It provides common redundant power
sources and common cooling, and supports up to 11 H.264 blade
encoders. In general, the blades are fully functional encoders
housed within a shelf rather than as standalone appliances. Each
blade is configured independently of the others and has its own
network connection and IP address.
If you purchased blades with your order they will be packaged
separately and not installed in the shelf prior to shipment.
Like the appliance, each blade is configured by default for DHCP.
You connect and configure each blade in the same manner as
a standalone appliance. If you have a rack mount shelf, the first
thing you will need to do is install the blades:
1.
Find the anti-static wrist strap that was shipped with your order
and attach the banana pin to the receptacle in the upper right
corner of the shelf.
2. Unpack and inspect each blade. Remove and save as many
blank filler panels as necessary.
3. Install blades from left to right beginning in Slot 1. Be sure
each blade is properly seated in guides before connecting
to the backplane.
4.
When properly seated, hand-tighten top and bottom
spring-loaded screws.
5. Repeat for each blade and then go to Step 1 on previous page
and complete Steps 1–5.
