Profile Video File Server Installation 2-1
Chapter

Mechanical Installation
This chapter describes the mechanical installation of your Profile Video File Server
into an equipment rack and the connection of cables to the rear panel. The chapter
includes examples of connections to peripheral equipment such as the PDX 218
storage expansion chassis, the PRS 255 RAID Storage chassis. See the appropriate
manuals for installation instructions for peripheral equipment. The information here
covers:
• Mounting the Profile Video File Server in the rack.
• Mounting the RS-422 Connector Panel.
• Mounting the audio interface chassis (XLR 216, BNC216, or PAC208/216).
• Making Profile Video File Server rear panel cable connections.
• Making other system connections.
Rack Mounting
The equipment for the Profile Video File Server system installs in a standard 19-inch
equipment rack. Rack slide tracks shipped with the Profile Video File Server and the
Profile Audio Chassis allow them to slide in and out without having to remove them
from the rack. However, if the rack does not already have rack slides installed, or if
the slides are not correctly positioned, you will have to use those shipped with the
Profile Video File Server.
When determining the location of the Profile Video File Server in the rack, bear in
mind that the chassis with a full complement of disk drives weighs approximately 70
pounds. Observe the following warnings:
WARNING: To prevent injury, two people are required to lift the Profile Video File
Server. The Profile Video File Server is too heavy for one person to install in the
rack.
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, insure that the rack is anchored to the floor
so that it cannot tip over when the Profile Video File Server is extended out of the
rack.
