1 Schematics
Populate the pre-wired CHIPS rack using the following schematics.
1.1 CHIPS Rack Layout Description
UPS - Uninterruptable Power Supply that will power the CHIPS system in the event of
a power cut. The UPS will do a clean shutdown of the system when the battery level
goes below a determined level.
TMS SERVER - The TMS server is where the Theatre Management System (TMS)
software is installed. All ingests of DCPs go through the TMS server either through
USB, eSATA or network interfaces. The CineWatch application is also installed which
provides a system monitoring service over SNMP. It also provides an increased level
of support as Sony can monitor and access the system remotely (if VPN link is
available). Upgrades of the projector firmware/software can be done remotely using
CineWatch

LIBRARY STORAGE - This is included in on board the TMS Server. The Library
Storage contains 8 x 2TB disks formatted to NTFS in a raid 6 configuration leaving
12TB useable space on the disk. Assuming a DCP feature size of 250GB this will
give storage for approximately 60 feature films (200GB DCP).
DCP HDD POWER AND USB DISTRIBUTION - A mains distribution panel is
provided so that a DCP HDD can be powered at the front of the rack. 4x USB ports
are available on the front of the TMS Application Server. Also KDM’s can be ingested
by USB memory stick.
CRU DATAPORT (High Speed Ingest) - The CRU Dataport provides increased
ingest speed through an eSATA interface to the Application Server. 2 x CRU DCP
HDD can be inserted, powered automatically and then ingested using the TMS Client.
KVM MONITOR/KEYBOARD DRAWER - The KVM monitor and keyboard is used for
configuration and maintenance of the system and can access both the Application
Server and the CineWatch Server. The KVM monitor is usually kept closed and not
used for daily use.
48 PORT Gb NETWORK SWITCH - The Gigabit switch is configured with a 4 x 1Gb
trunk to the Application Server for throughput and a single Gb link to each projector,
TMS Client and customer network.
TMS WORKSTATION - The TMS client PC is a standard PC which is not required to
be high performance. From this PC the TMS graphical user interface is accessed
through Windows Internet Explorer (or FireFox). The TMS Client is usually located in
the projection box and is the main point of interaction with the system. Scheduling,
Content Management, Status Monitoring and Show Management can be performed
at this terminal. A system can have multiple TMS Clients.
1.1.1 Rear connections of TMS Server

Please note that the 4 network cables that form the 4Gb TMS trunk to the network
switch are all connected to the Network PCI card not the on board nics.

2 CHIPS Power Up Procedure
Before performing the power up procedure please confirm that all wiring is cabled as
per the network and control schematics
Connect power cable from the UPS to the mains power supply
The UPS cable has two connectors, a C19 16A rectangle connector that connects to
the UPS, and a European plug adapter that connects to the house power supply.
Since the rack only has two servers the standard house power supply will be
sufficient to power the equipment.
Turn on the UPS
Hold the ‘ON’ button on the UPS for 3 seconds to protect the load
Turn on the Supermicro TMS Server
Press the power switch on the front of the server.
