Cabling and rear panel connections
Once the iTX Playout Appliance’s chassis is securely mounted in an equipment rack, you can
make the required connections to the server’s rear connectors (Figure 2-5).
Make the following connections to the rear panel of the iTX Playout Appliance:
1 Connect the two (2) AC power cables to the power supply sockets on the rear panel of
the iTX Playout Appliance’s chassis.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT plug the power cables into AC power sockets yet.
2 Connect the keyboard and mouse cables.
3 Connect the video monitor’s cable to the VGA connector (dual channel model) or to the
DVI connector (single channel model). Power on the monitor.

dongle authenticates the iTX software and allows you to use the software once the
license is registered in the iTX system.

connecting an Ethernet cable to the LAN1 connector.
