Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection

Electrostatic discharge occurs when electronic components are improperly
handled and can result in intermittent failure or complete damage adversely
affecting an electrical circuit. When you remove and replace any card from a frame

always follow ESD-prevention procedures:

• Ensure that the frame is electrically connected to earth ground through the power cord
or any other means if available.

• Wear an ESD wrist strap ensuring that it makes good skin contact. Connect the
grounding clip to an unpainted surface of the chassis frame to safely ground unwanted
ESD voltages. If no wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the unpainted
metal part of the chassis.

• For safety, periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should
be between 1 and 10 megohms.

• When temporarily storing a card make sure it is placed in an ESD bag.

• Cards in an earth grounded metal frame or casing do not require any special ESD
protection.

Cautions for LCD and TFT Displays

If the LCD or TFT glass is broken, handle glass fragments with care when
disposing of them. If any fluid leaks out of a damaged glass cell, be careful not to

get the liquid crystal fluid in your mouth or skin. If the liquid crystal touches your
skin or clothes, wash it off immediately using soap and water. Never swallow the fluid. The
toxicity is extremely low but caution should be exercised at all times.

[fr]

Si l'écran LCD ou TFT est brisé, manipulez les fragments de verre avec précaution au
moment de vous en débarrasser. veillez à ce que le cristal liquide n'entre pas en contact
avec la peau ou la bouche. En cas de contact avec la peau ou les vêtements, laver
immédiatement à l'eau savonneuse. Ne jamais ingérer le liquide. La toxicité est
extrêmement faible, mais la prudence demeure de mise en tout temps.

[es]

Si la pantalla LCD o TFT se rompe, retire con cuidado los fragmentos de vidrio cuando se
deshaga de ellos. Si hay una fuga de líquido de una celda de vidrio dañado, tenga cuidado
que el cristal líquido no entre en contacto con su boca o la piel. Si el cristal líquido toca su
piel o su ropa, lávelos inmediatamente con agua y jabón. No ingiera nunca el líquido. La
toxicidad es muy baja, pero se debe tener precaución en todo momento.

[pt]

Se o ecrã LCD ou TFT está quebrado, retire cuidadosamente os fragmentos de vidro ao
descartar deles. Se o líquido está vazando de uma célula de vidro danificado tenha cuidado
para não tirar o fluido de cristal líquido em sua boca ou pele. Se o cristal líquido toca sua
pele ou roupa, lave imediatamente com água e sabão. Nunca engula o líquido. A toxicidade
é muito baixa, mas o cuidado deve ser exercido em todos os momentos.

Overview of the Vertigo XG chassis

The Vertigo XG unit is a 3RU rackmount rendering platform that incorporates redundant fans,
two power supplies, and 1 TB RAID1-enabled storage (optional 2 TB RAID10 expansion).

The only visible difference between the two models of the Vertigo XG is that the single channel
model (XG21-e) has only one (1) discrete AES audio connector, while the dual channel model
(XG22-e) has two (2) discrete AES audio connectors.

In some cases, the positioning of the connectors on the Vertigo XG’s rear panel differs
depending upon the hardware options installed. See page 1-3

Installation and quick start instructions

Completing the quick start procedure

With the Vertigo XG now capable of playing out graphics, we recommend that you disable the
Live Windows as they put an unnecessary burden on the system’s resources during on-air
playout.

Since the mouse, keyboard and DVI monitor are only used during the setup and configuration
procedures, you can also disconnect these peripherals from the Vertigo XG unit.

To disable the Live Window:

1. If Channel A’s Dashboard is not already open, select the T
menu command in the Vertigo XG’s Control Panel for Channel A. Then, select the device’s
channel from the Device List.
