Introduction
Overview
11
Lightspeed G-Series Guide
System Power
The chassis features redundant hot-swappable dual digital power supplies that
automatically sense the input voltage between 100v to 240v, and operate at that
voltage. Power cords plug directly into the power supply units at the back of the
chassis, and the Power On/Off (0/1) button on the front energizes the unit. A green light
indicates that the power supply is operating. When a power supply fails or is
disconnected, an amber light on the power supply illuminates and an alarm sounds.
Drives
The chassis supports up to eight SSD hot-swappable 2.5" media hard disk drives. The
eight drive bays on the right (viewed from the front) support SSD media drives, two of
which are included as standard. These eight storage drives can be configured for RAID
0, 1, 5 or 10 (RAID 0 set at the factory for the two standard drives). The top left bay is
reserved for the Windows OS drive, and the bay below it accepts an optional OS drive.
Additional optional drives may be ordered from Telestream.
Front Control Panel
The chassis front control panel provides system monitoring lights and control buttons
which are described later (see Front Panel).
Cooling System
The system cooling design features eight 4-cm counter-rotating fans located in the
middle section of the chassis. Fan speed is controlled by the IPMI system management
software to respond to fluctuations in system temperature.
Dual air shrouds direct air flow to the dual CPUs and components that require cooling.
The power supply module also includes a cooling fan.
GPU
The GPU in the Lightspeed G5 Server accelerates video processing, and H.264/H.265
media creation. Using the GPU in combination with Lightspeed's powerful multi-core
CPU processors enables rapid transcoding and processing in Vantage.

Introduction

Lightspeed G-Series Guide
Expansion Input Card Slots
The system supports one optional full-height X16 PCI card, and one low profile X8 PCI
card, installed by Telestream.
In order to ensure optimal product performance and warranty coverage, it is important
that Telestream products be used in accordance with the following product policy. It is
critical that our product policy be adhered to when using add-in cards:
•Add-in cards are to be installed by Telestream, or an authorized agent, at or before
commissioning.
•Only Telestream-qualified add-in cards can be used. For the most up-to-date list
refer to the Lightspeed G5 Server product sheet on the Telestream.net web site.
Using untested and unknown add-in cards voids the product warranty.
Note: Except for externally removable power supplies and disk drives, the Lightspeed
Server has no user-serviceable parts. To maintain your warranty, any repair or
additional PCI card installation and any service inside the sealed top cover must be
performed by Telestream or an authorized Telestream service technician.

■Unpacking
■Rack Installation
WARNING: Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or
service this equipment.
CAUTION: Except for replaceable power supplies and hard drives which may be
accessed from the outside, the Lightspeed Server is a sealed device, with no user-
serviceable parts or user-accessible expansion slots. You should never open the top
cover or attempt to upgrade or alter the server. Doing so exposes you to electrical
hazard, may damage the unit, and may invalidate your warranty. If you have hardware
or software problems with your Lightspeed Server, follow the steps in Obtaining
Support | Information | Assistance later in this guide.
Note: Before proceeding, work with your network administrator to determine
computer and network setting requirements.
Unpacking
The Lightspeed Server arrives packed in a heavy duty cardboard box with foam
padding surrounding the device to protect it. During unpacking, inspect the container
and the contents for damage. If there is any damage, report it immediately to the
freight carrier and to TelestreamSupport.
The server is heavy. Unpack the server on a strong, well-balanced table that can
support the full weight of the server and shipping container without tipping.
Inside the box, you will find the server, optional components such as rack rails and
documentation on paper and flash drive (a DVD is available by request).
