WARNING
THIS DEVICE MUST BE GROUNDED.
IMPORTANT
Power requirements for electrical equipment vary from area to area. Please ensure that the ShowVault meets the power requirements in the surrounding area. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician or a Doremi Labs dealer.
AVIS
Le voltage peut différer d’un pays a l’autre. Il faut que le ShowVault soit ajusté au voltage du pays. LA SOURCE DE PUISSANCE DOIT AVOIR UN CONDUCTEUR CONNECTE A LA TERRE. Toutes réparations doivent être effectuées par une personne qualifiée. AFIN D’EVITER UN CHOC ELECTRIQUE, VEUILLEZ NE PAS ENLEVER LE CAPOT.
ShowVault Power Ratings
• AC Input: 100-240V~, 6-3A, 60-50Hz
• Maximum Power Consumption: 300W
WARNING: MULTIPLE SOURCES OF SUPPLY; DISCONNECT ALL SOURCES BEFORE SERVICING.
ShowVault Rack Mount and Thermal Information
• Maximum operating ambient temperature is 35°C.
• Never restrict the air flow through the devices’ fan or vents.
• When installing equipment into a rack, distribute the units evenly. Otherwise hazardous
conditions may be created by an uneven weight distribution.
• Connect the unit only to a properly rated supply circuit. Reliable earthing (grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Protecting Yourself and the ShowVault
Never touch the AC plug with wet hands. Always disconnect the ShowVault from the power supply by pulling on the plug not the cord. Allow only a Doremi Labs, Inc. dealer or qualified professional engineer to repair or reassemble the ShowVault. Apart from voiding the warranty, unauthorized engineers might touch live internal parts and receive a serious electric shock. Do not put, or allow anyone to put any object, especially metal objects, into the ShowVault. Use only an AC power supply. Never use a DC power supply.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
SHV.OM.001293.DRM Page 7 Version 1.3
If water or any other liquid is spilled into or onto the ShowVault, disconnect the power and call a Doremi dealer. The unit must be well ventilated and away from direct sunlight. To avoid damage to internal circuitry, as well as the external finish, keep the ShowVault away from direct sources of heat (heater vents, stoves, radiators). Avoid using flammable aerosols near the ShowVault. They can damage the surface area and may ignite. Do not use denatured alcohol, paint thinner, or similar chemicals to clean the ShowVault. This can damage the unit.
Modification of this equipment is dangerous and can result in the functions of the ShowVault being impaired. Never attempt to modify the equipment in any way. In order to ensure optimum performance of the ShowVault, select the setup location carefully and make sure the equipment is used properly. Avoid setting up the ShowVault in the following locations:
• In a humid or dusty environment.
• In a room with poor ventilation.
• On a surface which is not level.
• Inside a moving vehicle where it will be subject to vibration.
• In an extremely hot or cold environment.
Removable Drives Warning
Removal of the hot swappable hard drives allows access to pins and traces supplying power to the hard drive backplane. This is considered an energy hazard. Removal of the hard drives must be performed by a trained service specialist or by trained personnel. The equipment may only be used in a restricted access area which is not accessible to the general public.
Caution
• Battery is located on the motherboard.
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

1.4 Drives Insertion
1.4.1 General Rules
• In all cases do not insert or remove drives if the unit is powered on.
• Drives are preferably to be of the same make and model, and have the same capacity.
• Doremi prohibits mixing SATA I drives with SATA II drives within the same RAID.
1.4.2 HDDs Shipment
• Hard disk drives (HDDs) might be shipped out of the chassis. In this case, insert them in
before plugging in the power cables according to the procedure presented below:
• Identify the label written on each HDD.
• There will be one HDD with "A", one HDD with "B", and one HDD with "C" written on
them (see Figure 1 below) .
HDD Label
Location
Figure 1: HDD Label Location With “A” Label
• For each HDD press on the blue button located on its front side in order to release the gray handle.
• Open the gray handle all the way until it clicks (see Figure 2 below).

_____________________________________________________________________________________
SHV.OM.001293.DRM Page 13 Version 1.3
• The HDD properly installed will look like the "A", "B", and "C" HDDs presented in Figure
4 above.
• Power cables can now be plugged safely into the ShowVault.
1.5 Proper Power Off
Follow the instruction below to power off the ShowVault safely. Any other method might damage the RAID and result in RAID failure.
• Select "Shut Down" from the "Logout" menu: "Menu → Logout... → Shutdown".
• Another method to power off the unit is to press and release the power button.
• To turn the unit back on simply press and release the power switch.

2 ShowVault Presentation
Thank you for choosing the Doremi ShowVault. The ShowVault is a high quality DCI JPEG­2000 server capable of playing movie or trailer packages in MXF format at up to 250Mbits/sec.
The unit features a PCI-Express cable to interface with the IMB unit installed in the projector. This interface is used to transfer digital cinema files to the IMB which is capable of 12-bit 4:4:4 2048x1080p24 or 10-bit 4:2:2 for 48fps and 3D applications. Data storage is done on an internal RAID5 disk array.
The ShowVault also supports MPEG2 Interop movies, pre-show, and alternative content playback.
2.1 ShowVault Front Panel
• A silver front panel with a LCD screen is shown below:
Figure 5: ShowVault (3RU) with Silver Front Panel
• A blue front panel without LCD screen is shown below:
Figure 6: ShowVault (4RU) with Blue Front Panel
• POWER (PWR): The LED lights turn green when the unit is powered on.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
SHV.OM.001293.DRM Page 15 Version 1.3
• HDD: Red LED light indicate access to the Hard Disk Drives.
• The door on the right on both types of units (3RU and 4RU) covers the "POWER" switch
and the three hard disks that make up the RAID5 storage.
Figure 7: ShowVault (3RU) Silver Front Panel Right Door Opened
Figure 8: ShowVault (4RU) Blue Front Panel Right Door Opened
• Each hard disk drive has a blue button that allows removal of the drive from the chassis.
• Be careful not to remove the hard disk drive when the ShowVault is running.
• There is one USB 2.0 connector on the center of the front panel that can accommodate
an external hard drive as well as a mouse or keyboard.
• The left side of the front panel contains an LCD screen (3RU only).
_____________________________________________________________________________________
SHV.OM.001293.DRM Page 16 Version 1.3
Figure 9: ShowVault (3RU) Silver Front Panel LCD Screen
• On the silver front panel the LCD can be turned on or off by pressing on the LCD power button using the stylus attached to the front panel. This button is located behind the stylus (see Figure 9 above).
Note: The use of the LCD screen requires that the two rear panel VGA connectors are linked using the VGA cable provided with the ShowVault. See paragraph 3.1 for details about the VGA cable connections.
2.2 ShowVault Rear Panel
The rear panel will differ on the ShowVault depending on the motherboard used. The SuperMicro motherboard usage is illustrated in Figure 10 below.

Figure 11: ShowVault (4RU) Rear Panel Fitted With A SuperMicro Motherboard
• On the left side on the rear panel is the dual-redundant power supply
• Make sure that two AC power cables are used or the unit will sound an audible alarm
until both power cables are connected
• To temporarily disable the audible alarm press the red button next to the AC power connectors
Note: Insert drives before connecting power cables. Powering the ShowVault with only one AC cable is not recommended.
• On the left side on the rear panel are the motherboard connections The motherboard
connections are for the keyboard, mouse, VGA, 9-pin serial, Ethernet and USB 2.0 connections - see Section 3.3 for detailed information on motherboard connections
