Workstation Back Panel

Figure 2-4 shows the back of the Deko1000 or Deko550 workstation.
REDUNDANT POWER SUPPLIES
The Deko1000 and Deko550 workstation back panel (Figure 2-4) has a power supply on the left,
and AGP and PCI card ventilation covers on the right. BNC connector plates for each TARGA
3200 board in the workstation also double as ventilation covers. The cables from the TARGA
3200 cards are fastened to the inside BNCs of the connector plates, which is labeled on the
corresponding BNCs on the outside the connection plates for each connection.
Each Deko1000 and Deko550 workstation includes a pair of redundant hot-swappable Power
Supplies. In the event that one of the Power Supplies fails, the other will automatically take over
to assure continued operation of the workstation. A replacement Power Supply can be installed
without disrupting operation.
Important: Pinnacle Systems highly recommends that you purchase at least one spare Power Supply to
use in the event of a Power Supply failure. Contact Pinnacle Systems Customer Support (refer to
Appendix A) for ordering information.
Turn on the Power Supply switches before pressing the Power On/Off switch on the front panel.
When the power supplies are running, the Power LED on each power supply is green. When a
power supply is turned off or is not operational, the LED for that power supply is not lit. If a
power supply is not operational and the Power On/Off switch on the front panel is turned On, an
alarm will sound for the workstation. The workstation alarm can be turned off by pressing the
Alarm Silence button. Instructions for replacing a power supply can be found in Chapter 5:
System Maintenance.
The upper-middle part of the back panel contains the SVGA interface and the Genlock Reference
Input, which is internally connected to the TARGA 3200 board(s).
The recessed lower-middle panel has connectors for a keyboard and mouse, four available USB
ports, one parallel port, one serial ports, and one LAN connector.
Important: A dongle which is necessary for the Deko1000 or Deko550 software program to run is
installed on the parallel port. Do not remove the dongle.
