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 of 146 Version 1.5
Doremi Labs
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
HDD Label
Location
1.4.1 General Rules
In all cases, do not insert or remove drives if the unit is powered on.
Drives are 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) are shipped out of the chassis. In this case, insert them in to the server
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 (Figure 1).
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 (Figure 2).

Insert each drive all the way – one by one – into the chassis HDD cage according to the
A-B-C location defined in the schema below (Figure 3).
The gray handle must remain open all the way.
Figure 3: 3RU ShowVault Front View Schema – HDD
The drive must be inserted all the way inside the HDD cage before trying to close the
gray handle (Figure 4).
Close the gray handle by pushing it toward the HDD until it clicks.

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/IMB 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):

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 and Figure 8).
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).

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 (Figure 9).
Note: The use of the LCD screen requires that the two rear panel VGA connectors are linked

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 (Section 3.3).

All ShowVault servers are shipped with a default IP address of 192.168.100.50 on the Ethernet
port (Eth1) and a DHCP assigned dynamic IP address on the Ethernet port (Eth0) – see section
3.3 to locate each Ethernet connector.
To change the IP address of the ShowVault server, go to Menu → System → Networking
Configuration and follow the steps below:
A window will appear asking for a password as illustrated below (Figure 17):

Press Enter to confirm the configuration of each page of the Ethernet Networking
Configuration Wizard. Press Tab to select an option.
Enter the desired system’s hostname and then press Enter.
o Note: It is a good idea to put the circuit location/screen number in here. For
example, “AMC_bir_scr1,” as it will be easier to identify when connecting via
VNC and in the logs.
Enter the desired system domain name and then press Enter.
