1 Overview
H3C MS8000 (hereinafter referred to as the MS8000) is a media switch se rver developed by Hangzhou
H3C Technologies Co., Ltd. (H3C). It is an important component in the H3C IP video surveillance
system (iVS) solution.
Figure 1-1 shows its appearance.
Figure 1-1 MS8000 appearance
Features
Forwarding and distribution of real-time audio and video steams
The MS8000 receives unicast/multicast media steams from encoders and forwards replica of the
streams to decoder client for replay. Up to 1024 copies for each stream are supported.
The MS8000 can be deployed flexibly as needed, enhancing the iVS solution.
z Placed at the iVS edge, the MS8000 acts as a gateway to transform the multicast media streams to
unicast media streams.
z Placed inside the iVS, the MS8000 is to distribute unicast media streams.
VOD of the audio and video history data
The MS8000 is compatible with the all the H3C series of video encoders. It reads the audio and video
history data from the IP SAN (storage area network), and then sends the data in the standard RTP
streams to the decoder client for decryption and replay.
RTSP (real-time streaming protocol) i s used for the MS8000 a nd V OD client to control su ch operation s
as play, pause, forward.
The MS8000 authenticates users that initiate the VOD requests. It obtains data from the IP SAN and
sends it to the legal users. This prevents unauthorize d users from accessing the data.
Convenient management through Web interfaces
The MS8000 provides Web-based management, such as software version management,
communication protocol parameter management, and log management, thus facilitating the
maintenance and management of the system.

2 Device Installation
Precautions
To ensure its proper operation and extend its longevity, consider the precautions when installing the
MS8000:
z Install the MS8000 indoors.
z Install the MS8000 in a place with good ventilation, especially around the heat dissi pation holes. Do
not place any objects on the device.
z Make sure the requirements on the environment temperature and humidity, and the power supply
are met.
z Ground the MS8000 in equal-potential wiring. The grounding device must meet the requirements
for anti-interference and equipment safety, and shall not form short-circuit or contact with the
neutral wire of the high-voltage electrical network.
z Keep the working environment clean. Dust buildup will cause electrostatic adsorption, which may
not only shorten the life of the MS8000, but also incur operation failure.

Before Installation
Before installing the MS8000:
z Verify the equipment model, and the type and quantity of accessories against the packing list.
z Make sure you have reviewed the content in the "Precautions" section on page 2-1, and all
requirements are met.
z Prepare a flathead screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver.
The directions of front, rear, left, right, and bottom in this manual are referenced when the MS8000 is
placed with the front panel before you.
Do not remove the dismantlement-preventive seal on the chassis cover of an MS8000 without
permission. If you want to open the chassis, contact the local agent of H3C for help. Otherwise, H3C
shall not be held liable for any consequence caused thereby.
Installing the MS8000 in a Rack
You can install your MS8000 to a standard 19-inch rack manufactured by H3C or other vendors (the
rack should be able to bear the weight of the MS8000). The following sections use an H3C standard
19-inch rack as an example.
Installation Preparation
z Check the grounding and stability of the rack, determine the position on the rack that the MS8000 is
to be installed to, and make sure there is no obstacle inside or near the ra ck which may hamper the
installation.
z Move the MS8000 near to the rack for installation.
Installation Procedure
Step1 As shown in Figure 2-2, fix the mounting brackets to the two sides of the MS8000 chassis with screws.
Press the inner slide rails (left and right) to the screws on the chassis in the direction indicated by ①,
and pull the slide rails in the direction indicated by ② to fix them to the chassis.

Step3 Lift the MS8000 to align the inner slide rails with the outer slide rails, and push the MS8000 slowly inside
the rack along the slide rails until the mounting brackets contact the rack post s at the front sides of the
rack. Fix the mounting brackets to the rack posts using the screws and captive nut s, as shown in
Figure
2-4.
Figure 2-4 Install the MS8000 to the rack
Verification
After installing the MS8000 to the rack, check the items listed in Table 2-1. All results should be Yes.

2
The MS8000 is installed at an appropriate
position.
3
The outer slide rails are fixed on the rack posts at
the rear of the rack.
4 The inner and outer slide rails are conn ected well.
Installing the MS8000 on a Workbench
If you do not have a standard 19-inch rack, you can install your MS8000 on a workbench.
Installation Preparation
z Make sure the workbench is sturdy enough to hold the MS8000, its accessories and the cables.
z Make sure the workbench is well grounded and is stable.
The MS8000 is shipped with feet. You need to remove the stickers from the feet and fasten the feet to
the appropriate positions on the bottom of the MS8000.
Installation Procedure
Step1 Move the MS8000 in front of the workbench.
Step2 Lift the MS8000 a little higher than the workbench and place it on the workbench.
To ensure effective heat dissipation, keep at least a clearance of 10 cm (3.94 in.) around the MS8000.
Installing the Cables
Cabling Requirements
The principle of cabling is that service cables (such as network cable) should be separated from the
power cables. You can bundle the long cables with cable ties, and stick a label to a cable for indication.
