Installation & Quick Start Guide
Starting the iTX Server Controller
Start the iTX Server Controller by double-clicking the Windows desktop icon or using the
Windows Start menu.
If you want the services to start automatically when you start a machine and log onto the
network, you need to add the program shortcut for the Server Controller to the Windows
Startup folder. For instructions on how to do this, see the Microsoft Windows Help
documentation.
Managing the RAID Arrays on the iTX Playout Appliance
The Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) software is used to manage RAID arrays on the
iTX Playout Appliance. This software is pre-installed and running on the iTX Playout
Appliance.
When operating properly, the Intel RST icon in the Windows system tray appears as a
hard drive with a green check mark over it. If there is any problem with a RAID array, the
same icon appears with a yellow exclamation mark over the hard drive icon along with a
pop-up dialog that explains the problem.
To more closely monitor and manage the RAID arrays, you can open the Intel RST software
window (Figure 3-6) by double clicking its icon in the Windows system tray.
