Introduction GV Orbit
About GV Orbit Admin Guide
About GV Orbit
GV Orbit is a single, consolidated, overarching configuration, control and monitoring
package specifically designed for the dynamic orchestration of broadcast media networks,
whether they be SDI, hybrid or pure IP. Its underlying architecture, however, is targeted at
open standard-based IP systems with many features and functions specifically crafted to
make IP easy.

GV Orbit Server Installation
Introduction
This chapter provides information about system requirements, items shipped with your
GV Orbit Server and it will guide you through GV Orbit Server installation.
Getting Organized / Unpacking
Required Materials
Your GV Orbit Server package includes the following:
• One GV Orbit Server
• Installation hardware and rails
• Accessory tray containing:
• Dell PowerEdge documentation
• 2 × Power cords
• GV Orbit documentation folder containing:
• Welcome letter, with setup and configuration checklist.
In addition to the above, you will need the following (not supplied):
• One 1GBase-T Ethernet switch having enough ports for the primary management
network:
• The primary management port for each GV Orbit Server GB1 port. See Port
Identification, on page 15.
• The server’s Enterprise (iDRAC) port for each GV Orbit Server if you have made a
BIOS setting change on the GV Orbit Server. See Bridging iDRAC onto a LAN on
Motherboard (LOM) Port to Save Cabling, on page 20.
• Client PCs.
• Panel devices.
• Production equipment that uses a management port for configuration and control
(the equipment uses out of band signaling).
• Connection to all high-bit rate media network switches, to the optional iDRAC
network switch, and to the optional secondary management network switch.
Note: The use of multiple network switches is preferred. The theory is that
should a network fail, then this will only degrade system availability and
avoid a full system failure.

Required Materials Admin Guide
• [Optional] One 1GBase-T Ethernet switch having enough ports for the secondary
(redundant) management network:
• The secondary management port for each GV Orbit Server GB2 port. See Port
Identification, on page 15.
• Panel devices equipped with a second management port.
• Production equipment equipped with a second management port for
configuration and control (the equipment uses out of band signaling).
• Connection to all high-bit rate media switches and to the primary management
network.
• Connection to all high-bit rate media network switches and to the primary
management network switch.
• Up to four 10GB Ethernet switches for high-bit rate media streams with enough ports
to connect to all production equipment fitted with high-speed media ports.
• [Optional] One 1000Base-T (or 100Base-T) Ethernet switch having enough ports for the
Enterprise iDRAC network. See also Bridging iDRAC onto a LAN on Motherboard (LOM)
Port to Save Cabling, on page 20 to eliminate the need for this switch and its related
cabling.
• For each GV Orbit Server’s Enterprise iDRAC port found on each GV Orbit Server if
you are using the default iDRAC BIOS settings.
• Connection to the primary management network switch and to the secondary
management network switch, if available.
• Client PC (refer to the GV Orbit Release Notes for client PC requirements; see Related
Documentation, on page 5).
• Cables to make Ethernet network connections between:
• All equipment (GV Orbit Servers, client PCs, panel devices, production equipment,
and so on) and their network switch.
• Network switches.
• Standard 19-inch rack.
You also will need for the first-time startup configuration (not supplied):
For the first-time startup, you need to connect to the GV Orbit Server’s console by
temporarily connecting the following equipment to the GV Orbit Server:
• Monitor which supports one of the following resolutions and is equipped with a 15-pin
VGA connector.
• USB keyboard.
• USB mouse (optional).
