2-12 Vertigo XG Installation & Quick Start Guide
Installation and quick start instructions
To cable the Vertigo XG:
1. Connect the three (3) AC power cables
to the power supply sockets on the rear
panel of the Vertigo XG chassis.
WARNING
DO NOT plug the power cables into AC power sockets yet.
2. Connect the Keyboard and Mouse
to the USB connectors on the front or rear
panel of the Vertigo XG. Two PS/2 connections are also available on the rear panel,
should you prefer to use another type of keyboard and mouse.
3. Connect to a computer monitor to one of the two (2) DVI connectors on the rear
panel of the Vertigo XG. If you prefer, you can use the VGA/DVI monitor adapter
to
connect the Vertigo XG device to VGA monitor.
NOTE
Although there are two (2) DVI connectors, the Vertigo XG can display to only one monitor.
Therefore, it does not matter which of the two connectors the monitor’s cable is connected to.
4. Connect the Vertigo XG device to the Local Area Network (LAN) by connecting
ethernet cables to the two (2) Network Ethernet connectors.
The Vertigo XG’s two network ethernet adapters are teamed together (connect 2 cables to
the 2 NIC cards at the same time) to form a third virtual adapter. In the event of an adapter,
cable or switch failure, the network interface fails over to the healthy adapter. See “Vertigo
XG Configuration Guide” for more details.
If you only have one cable connected, then the teaming is still in effect, but all traffic will be
over that one cable. If that NIC fail, you will have to manually move the cable to the other NIC.
5. Connect the Video breakout cable
to the Vertigo XG’s SDI Video card I/O connector.
SDI IN A Primary SDI program input connection for both single and dual
channel Vertigo XG units.
SDI IN B On single channel Vertigo XG units (XG21-e), the SDI IN B is a
second SDI program input connection for the single channel. On dual
channel Vertigo XG units (XG22-e), the SDI IN B is the primary SDI
program input connection for the second channel.
SDI OUT A Primary output channel connection for both single and dual channel
Vertigo XG units.
For the purposes of this setup procedure, connect this cable to a
broadcast monitor.

(XG22-e). Not used on single channel Vertigo XG units (XG21-e).
For the purposes of this setup procedure, connect this cable to a
broadcast monitor.
