The TVC-1211 utilizes a hardware RAID solution and comes pre-configured in RAID 1+0 configuration. Recognizing Hard Drive Failures A steadily glowing Fault LED indicates a drive failure. Ensure you have a current backup and replace the failed drive as soon as possible. For details, refer to 3.9.2 Monitoring Hard Disk Drives, on page 3-12.
3 Connecting the Controller This section discusses how to prepare your controller for operation. It provides a detailed look at the controller chassis and its various components, instructions on how to connect various sources and how to power the controller. 3.1 Grounding the Expansion Chassis Connect the expansion chassis to a reliable earth ground. Install the ground wire in accordance with local electrical safety standards. Refer to Grounding the Expansion Chassis, on page 1-2. 3.
Section 3: Connecting the Controller 3.2.1 Connecting Multiple 13-slot Chassis Up to 2 chassis can be connected. 3-2 Host Card Expansion Chassis 1 Expansion Chassis 2 Slave Card Slave Card Host Card PCIe TVC-1211 User Manual 020-100769-01 Rev.

Section 3: Connecting the Controller V16A Module The V16A module (16-input) is installed into the controller to allow connection of S-video, composite sources, or both. A single V16A module has 16 built-in decoders. Each decoder has 2 inputs, which are the corresponding inputs from the top connector (A) and the bottom connector (B). Composite video can be connected to any of the available BNC inputs. To hook up S-video, connect Y (Luma) to the "A" input and C (Chroma) to the corresponding "B" input.
Section 3: Connecting the Controller 3.5 Connecting Display Devices/Screens The controller can be customized to include up to 12 D4A (using multiple expansion chassis) modules, enabling you to choose from a variety of configurations. 3.5.1 VGA Cables When connecting display devices to the controller: 1. Connect the single end of each of the 2 dual VGA cables to the display module connectors on the rear panel. D4A 2. Connect the other 2 ends of each cable to your display devices.
Section 3: Connecting the Controller 3.5.3 No DVI Signal If you do not see output on any of the display devices, it is possible there is a problem with the EDID. For example, if the system detects different resolutions, as reported by EDID, it automatically switches to analog output. 1. Power down the controller. For details, refer to 3.8 Powering ON/ OFF, on page 3-9. 2. Connect an analog multi-sync monitor to the Display 1 connector. 3. Power up the controller and confirm the configuration is correct.
Section 3: Connecting the Controller 3.7 Connecting Power Connect the approved rated line cords, supplied with the controller, to the AC inlets of the power supplies on the rear panel(s) and connect the 3-pronged end of the line cords to a grounded AC outlet. The input voltage must be capable of 100-240 VAC, 15A. 3.7.1 Connect AC Line Cords to TVC-1211 Controller NOTICE: The line cords provided with the controller from the Christie factory are approved and rated for North American use only.
Section 3: Connecting the Controller 3.8.2 Power ON Controller To power up the controller and initialize the input and display modules: 1. Press the Power button on the front panel. 2. Wait until the Windows Server 2003 operating system cycles through its initialization process. This may take several minutes depending on the number of display cards installed. NOTE: Depending on your display device capabilities you may or may not see the boot up process. The resolution of the boot sequence is 640 x 480. 3.
Section 3: Connecting the Controller 3.9 System Monitoring The LEDs on the front and back panels provide information about the controller's status. 3.9.1 Monitoring Controller Components As the system cycles through the components, the LEDs on the front panel will illuminate to indicate status. Table 3.1 LED Status Item Description Status 1 UID switch and LED Not supported by TVC-1211. 2 NIC2 link/activity LED (embedded NIC only) Green: Linked to network.
Section 3: Connecting the Controller 3.9.2 Monitoring Hard Disk Drives Fault status lights on the hard drive indicate the health of the drive. A flashing light indicates a failing drive. Table 3.2 Hard Drive LEDs Online/ Activity LED (green) 3-12 Fault LED (amber) Status ON, OFF or Flashing Alternating amber and blue The drive has failed, or a predictive failure alert has been received for this drive and been selected by a management application.
Section 3: Connecting the Controller 3.9.3 Recognizing Hard Drive Failures NOTICE: Occasionally, a drive that has previously failed may seem to be operational after the system is power-cycled or after the drive has been removed and reinserted. However, continued use of such marginal drives could eventually result in data loss. Replace the marginal drive as soon as possible. The following section lists other ways in which the hard drive reveals signs of failure.
