Preface

About This Manual

This Quick Start Guide covers the installation, configuration, deployment,
and verification of all hardware and software associated with the Maestro
Branding Engine.

The 1.6.0 release of Maestro is the first version to support the Branding
Engine features. This manual focuses on the Branding Engine only and
does not address any other Maestro features included in the 1.6.0 release.
For more information on additional features supported in version 1.6.0, see
the version 1.6.0 Release Notes.

The Branding Engine is an optional feature that requires the purchase of
one or more Branding Engine mezzanine boards and disk drives. The 1.6.0
software release enables the Branding Engine features only if the appro­priate hardware is installed.

Branding Engine hardware supports only the Maestro channel processor
on which it is installed. Each Maestro channel on which Branding Engine
features are desired must have at least one Branding Engine mezzanine
board and one hard disk drive installed. The contents of a Branding Engine
disk drive are not shared on multiple Maestro channel processors.
