business equipment.
These safety standards impose important requirements on the use of safety critical
components, materials, and insulation, in order to protect the user or operator against
risk of electric shock and energy hazard and having access to live parts.
Safety standards also impose limits to the internal and external temperature variations,
radiation levels, mechanical stability and strength, enclosure construction and protection
against the risk of fire.
Simulated single-fault condition testing ensures the safety of the equipment to the user,
even when the equipment’s normal operation fails.

Initial inspection
General
Before shipment, the Barco Media Server was inspected and found to be free of mechanical and electrical defects. As soon as the Barco Media Server is unpacked, inspect it
for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Save all packing material until the
inspection is completed. If damage is found, file a claim with the carrier immediately.
Notify the Barco sales and service office as soon as possible.
Unpacking
At delivery the Barco Media Server is packed in a cardboard box. Place the box on a
stable (solid), flat, and insulated support during all the unpacking. Open the box from
the top. Remove the Barco Media Server from its antistatic bag. Check the box content.
After unpacking let the BarcoMedia Server acclimate to room temperature, which must
be higher than 0°C (32°F) and lower than 40°C (104°F). Neglecting this may result in
startup failure.
Save the original shipping box and packing material; these will be necessary if you ever
have to ship your Barco Media Server. For maximum protection, repack your Barco
Media Server as it was originally packed at the factory.
Box content
After unpackingthe Barco Media Server, check if all of the following items were included:

2. The video output card can handle two DisplayPort-to-DVI conversions
on its own; for these conversions you may use the passive DisplayPortto-DVI adapters.
a. If you wish to connect to more than two DVI devices,
you must use the active DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters
for the any conversions beyond the first two.
b. To get all four outputs, connect the passive adapters
to ports 1 and 2, and connect the active adapters to
ports 3 and 4.
3. The USB System Restore drive contains the user guide and the recovery
software. To restore the system using the USB System Restore drive,

Mechanical check
Confirm that there are no broken parts and that the unit is free of dents or scratches. If
you find broken parts, dents, or scratches, notify your Barco sales representative as soon
as possible.
Rack-mount procedure
The BarcoMedia Server chassis is designedto be rack mounted. Please note the following
important points:
• The Barco Media Server is 4RU in height.
• The maximum ambient operating temperature is 40° C.
• Leave sufficient front and rear space to ensure that airflow through the
Barco Media Server is not restricted.
• Distribute the units evenly, when installing equipment in a rack, to
prevent hazardous conditions that may be created by uneven weight
distribution.
• Connect the Barco Media Server only to a properly rated supply circuit.
• Maintain reliable grounding (earthing) of rack-mounted equipment.
• Mount the Barco Media Server from the front rack ears, using four rack
screws (not supplied).
(Threads may be metric or otherwise, depending upon the rack type.)
