Introduction

WingsEnginesbyAVStumpflconstitutehigh‐performance,high‐reliabilityhardware
formultidisplayshows.Theyincorporateourexperienceandthatofourusers.They
arebasedonWindows7Embeddedandhavebeenprovidedwithselectedcompo‐
nentsthatensureoptimalconfiguration.AllWingsEnginesaredistinguishedbythe
followingfeatures:
OperatingsystemandshowdataonSSDguaranteehighestperformanceandre‐
liability.
High‐performancegraphicscardwithtwoorfourdisplayoutputs(DUALor
QUAD),additionaloutputforcontrolmonitor
Aspecialdesktopallowsfastaccesstothemostimportantfunctions.SeeWings
EngineDesktop.
Generationoftestimagesonalloutputsfacilitatesalignmentofvideoprojectors
ordisplays.SeeDisplayingtestpictures.
ThesupportmoduleTeamViewerallowsremoteaccessforremotemaintenance
andtroubleshooting.
Theconfigurationisprotected,i.e.youareabletomakechangesbutthede‐
finedconfigurationcanberestoredatanytimeusingtheBackupManager.Cer‐
tainlyyoucanalsosaveandloadyourownconfigurationsforparticularapplica‐
tions.Configurationscanalsobe"frozen",i.e.youcanmakechangesbutthede‐
finedconfigurationsisrestoredagainafterarestart.SeealsoWingsEngineBa‐
ckupManager.

Therearethreedifferentmodelswithtwoorfourdisplayoutputseach:

Operatingconditionsandtechnicaldata
Inordertoguaranteeproperoperationmakesurethatthefollowingoperatingcondi‐
tionsprevailfortheWingsEngine.
Importantnote:Whenyoureceiveyourserver,placeitintheenvironmentwhereyou
willinstallit.Leavetheserverinitsshippingcrateatitsfinaldestinationfor12hours
anddonotconnectittothepowersupply!Thisrestingperiodpreventsthermalshock
andcondensation.
Ambienttemperature
Anambienttemperaturerangeof21°C(69.8°F)to23°C(73.4°F)isoptimalforserver
reliability.At22°C(71.6°F)itiseasytomaintainasaferelativehumiditylevel.Operat‐
inginthistemperaturerangeprovidesabufferiftheenvironmentalsupportsystems
fail.
RelativeHumidity
Ambientrelativehumiditylevelsbetween45%and50%arethemostsuitablefordata
processingoperationsinorderto
Preventcorrosion
Provideanoperatingtimebufferintheeventofenvironmentalcontrolsystem
failure.
Helpavoidfailurescausedbytheintermittentinterferencefromstaticdischarg‐
esthatoccurwhenrelativehumidityistoolow.
AirflowConsiderations
Ensureunobstructedairflowthroughthechassis
Ensurethatairentersatthefrontoftheserverhousingandexitsattheback.
Ensurethatventilationopenings,suchascabinetdoors,forboththeinletand
exhaustoftheserverprovideminimumopenareaof460cm²(71.3in²)each.
Takecaretopreventrecirculationofexhaustairwithinarackorcabinet.
Managecablestominimizeinterferingwiththeserverexhaustvent.
