Step 5 Connect the power cord, mouse, keyboard, and video monitor.
Note You need to supply your own VGA-compatible video monitor.
Step 6 Connect the network interface to either a 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps Ethernet connector.
Note The MPEG4 and H.261 capture cards only support the IP/TV 3423 model only. The MPEG1 and MPEG2 capture cards only support the following models: 3423, and 3415.
Step 7 Turn on the primary AC power switch on the back of the unit, and then turn on the secondary power switch on the front of the unit.
Note Both switches must be turned on for the unit to work.
Optional Expansion
You can use the Ultra Wide SCSI as a backup/archive device interface.
For installation information, please refer to the documentation that came with your device.
Note Ultra Wide SCSI supports 40 MB-per-second transfer. If you attach slower SCSI devices to the Ultra Wide port, all your attached SCSI devices will run at the speed of the slowest device. For best performance, attach only Ultra Wide SCSI devices. Note also that the last device on the SCSI bus must be terminated.
