Installation & Quick Start Guide
Overview of the front panel components
The front panel of the iTX Playout Appliance provides convenient access to the hard drives,
a DVD ROM drive, and a control panel that provides some system monitoring and control.
There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the hard drive carriers to
keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and
health of specific components. There are also two buttons on the chassis control panel and
an on/off switch on the power supply.
Figure 1-1 and the following sections describes each component on the iTX Playout
Appliance’s front panel.

Front Control Panel
The iTX Playout Appliance’s front control panel contains three push-buttons and five LEDs,
which provide some system monitoring and control.
The following table provides a functional description of these buttons and explains the
meanings of all LED indicators.
UID
Depressing the UID (Unit Identifier) button illuminates an LED on the front of the
chassis for easy system location in large stack configurations. The LED will
remain on until the button is pushed a second time.
Reset
The Reset button reboots the system.
Power
The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply
to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main
power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.
