Preface

About This Manual

This Installation manual provides system planning, hardware installation,
software configuration, operating information, and specifications for the
Maestro Master Control System.

This manual also covers the installation, configuration, deployment, and
verification of all hardware and software associated with the Channel
Branding and Dual Channel DVE options.

The 1.7.0 release of Maestro was the first version to support Channel
Branding features. Channel Branding is an optional feature that requires
the purchase of one or more Channel Branding mezzanine boards and disk
drives. The 1.7.0 software release enables the Channel Branding features
only if the appropriate hardware is installed.

Channel Branding hardware supports only the Maestro channel processor
on which it is installed. Each Maestro channel on which Channel Branding
features are desired must have at least one Channel Branding mezzanine
board and one hard disk drive installed. The contents of a Channel
Branding disk drive are not shared on multiple Maestro channel proces-
sors.

The 2.0 release of Maestro was the first version to support the Dual Channel
DVE option. Dual Channel DVE is an optional feature that requires the pur-
chase of a Dual Channel DVE mezzanine board.
