23 February 2004 PVS2000 Installation Guide 3
Before getting started
This installation guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the PVS2000
Media Platform using factory default settings. Afterinstalling thePVS2000 using this
installation guide, you can refer to the Profile XP System Guide to customize system
settings for your installation.
For Grass Valley Customer Support information, refer to page 45 of this Installation
Guide.
About channels and factory default configuration
Profile applications use channels to control disk recording and playback. A channel
defines a grouping of Profile XP video, audio, and timecode resources and is
identified by a unique name. Profile XP software supports three channel types:
Recorder channel, Player channel, or Player/Recorder channel. For more information
on channel types and creating or modifying channels, refer the Profile XP System
Guide.
Your PVS2000 is shipped with default Recorder and Player channels. These default
channels are named Vtr1, Vtr2, Vtr3 and so on. The following table describes the
video and audio connections you’ll make for the two channel types. On the pages that
follow, you’ll find specifics about the type and number of default channels in your
system, and their video and audio I/O connections.
Rack-mounting the PVS2000 Series Chassis
This procedure assumes you have already rack-mounted the PVS2000, PFC500,
PFR500, PFR600, or PFR700 Fibre Channel RAID Chassis, I/O Panel, and audio
interface option as required. For rack-mounting information, see Appendix C, “Rack
Mounting Information and Rear Panel Drawings” in the Profile XP System Guide.

Checking standard PVS2000 Series accessories
Your PVS2000 Series Media Platform is shipped with several standard accessories as
shown in the table. Locate the accessories you need for your installation and proceed.
System power-off and reboot procedure
When you power-off or reboot your Profile XP Platform and RAID storage system,
you must follow the proper sequence as described in the following procedure.
NOTE: If your Profile XP Media Platform is part of an Open SAN, disregard this
procedure, and refer to the instructions in the Open SAN Instruction Manual for
shutting down the Open SAN.
1. Power-off the RAID storage system by powering-off the RAID Controller chassis
prior to, or at the same time as the RAID Expansion chassis.
CAUTION: YoumustalwayspoweroffthePFR500RAIDControllerchassisprior
to, or at the same time as the PFR500E Expansion Chassis. Failure to do so may
force some LUNs offline. This will cause loss of access to the media file system
when the system is powered on again. Refer to the Profile XP System Guide for
instructions on how to recover from improper power-off sequence.
2. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the disk drives to spin down, then power-on all
RAID Expansion chassis, then all RAID Controller chassis. Always power-on the
RAID Expansion chassis prior to, or at the same time as the RAID Controller
chassis.
3. Wait for RAID storage initialization, as follows:
-PFR700 RAID Storage systems - Wait until all disk access LEDs are steady —
approximately 4 minutes. The controller READY LED must be ON, the front
Power LED must be ON, and the front Service LED must be OFF. (Refer to the
PFR700 Instruction Manual to interpret other disk access LED or status LED
behavior.)
-PFR600 RAID Storage systems - Wait until all disk access LEDs are steady
green— approximately 4 minutes. The rear panel 7-segment LED displays the
chassis address. (Refer to the PFR 600 Instruction Manual to interpret other disk
access LED or 7-segment LED behavior.)
-PFR500 RAID Storage systems - Wait until all disk access LEDs are steady
green— approximately 4 minutes. The rear panel 7-segment LED displays the
chassis address and the HOST RDY light is on. (Refer to the PFR500 Instruction
Manual to interpret other disk access LED or 7-segment LED behavior.)

IMPORTANT: If you are installing your Profile XP Media Platform as part of an
Open SAN, disregard this step. Instead, follow the instructions in the Open SAN
Instruction Manual for starting your Profile XP Media Platform system.
To start your system:
1. Connect power cords to the Profile XP Media Platform and all peripheral devices.
2. Turn on power to all peripheral devices connected to the Profile XP Media Platform.
NOTE: Do not power-on the Profile XP Media Platform until the RAID storage
system is fully initialized. Refer to RAID storage power-up verification steps on
pages 9-14.
3. Turn on the Profile XP Media Platform using the front panel standby switch, and wait
for Windows NT to initialize and perform auto-logon. The Windows NT desktop will
appear after successful auto-logon.
During initialization, the Profile XP system software checks the RAID storage
system for a video file system. Since at first power-up one is not found, an error
message may be displayed regarding loss of the video file system.
Proceed with the next procedure to create a new video file system.
IMPORTANT: You must use the proper power-off sequence when turning off or
rebooting the Profile XP Platform and RAID storage system. Refer to “System
power-off and reboot procedure” on page 5.
