AJA FS2 Quick Start - Manual

Quick Start Guide
Installation Summary
These instructions can help you connect and operate the FS2 quickly. For additional
details, please see the FS2 Installation and Operation Guide on the supplied DVD.
1. Unpack the shipping box, and read the late-breaking news sheet, if any.
2. Install physical options, such as fiber optic modules or Dolby Decoder card (Dolby
Encoder is a future option). AJA Fiber I/O modules slide into the Fiber slots in the
back; use only AJA modules. The Dolby Decoder card mounts inside the top cover
in the right-hand slot as shown below.
3. Mount the physical chassis: front rack, rear rack, or deskmount—1 RU x 17.5 inches
(44.45 cm) x 16 inches (40.65 cm). Do not block air flow through the side vents.
4. Connect one or two power cords to the FS2 and mains AC (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz,
55 Watts). For redundancy, use both cords and connect them to separate branch
circuits. The FS2 power supply is autosensing and adjusts to the available power.
5. Connect your computer to the FS2 using a CAT5 Ethernet cable to the FS2 RJ45 10/
100/1000 Ethernet LAN connector. You can connect directly or via a network
device such as a switch, hub, bridge, etc. The FS2 automatically senses and adjusts
to either a straight-through or crossover cable.
6. Make signal I/O connections to the FS2 back panel as the following figure shows.
