Tesira SERVER and SERVER IO PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Tesira SERVER is a digital network server. It is factory configured with one DSP-2 card and can accept up to a total
of eight DSP-2 cards. The SERVER is also factory configured with one AVB-1 card and has a second slot that can be
outfitted with an additional AVB-1 card, a 32 x 32 channel SCM-1 CobraNet card, a 64 x 64 channel DAN-1 Dante™ card,
or a standard I/O card for four channels of local I/O. The SERVER is the core of a Tesira digital audio system and can be
used with Tesira expanders to form a highly scalable audio network. Two Tesira SERVERs can also be designed as a
redundant pair, carrying identical processing and card configurations. The secondary SERVER stays ‘live’ with the
primary, updating runtime parameters. If the primary SERVER should need maintenance, the secondary takes over with
no loss of continuity or downtime.
The Tesira SERVER-IO is a digital network server. It is factory configured with one DSP-2 card and is capable of handling
up to two additional DSP-2 cards. The SERVER-IO has capacity for up to three total audio networking cards per server.
The combinations of networking cards can include up to two AVB-1 Audio Video Bridging network cards, up to two SCM-1
CobraNet network cards, and up to two DAN-1 Dante network cards in any configuration. The SERVER-IO can support up
to 12 standard Tesira I/O cards for up to 48 channels of audio I/O (e.g. mic and line level, VoIP, and telephone interface).
The SERVER-IO can be used as a standalone or with Tesira expanders to form a highly scalable audio network.

Ventilation fan cover
Each device has a perforated cover to allow cool air into the chassis. A variable speed temperature controlled fan allows
air into the front of the unit and out of the rear left side. Ensure that nothing obstructs the front or side of the unit. The filter
should be cleaned periodoically. To access the filter, the front panel should be removed by locating the indentations on
sides of the unit’s front panel.
