Installation Records
By the time your server system/network has been fully configured and made operational, you will have added
a lot of media, configuration resources, set IP addresses and perhaps assembled a fully populated and cabled
rack. Protect this investment by:
·
keeping clear and complete records of installations, any additional drivers or software and their versions
·
creating a map of your total system and how it is connected, including all IP addresses
·
labelling all your cables, perhaps with photos of rear panel connections – the positions of plug
connections for audio, capture and network ports are important
·
creating a clone or backup of your whole C:\ drive on external storage
·
ensuring you have copies of all your media – not just original files received from content creator, but all
final converted 7th files, particularly if complex carving has been done.
7thSense has a complete record of your system as it was delivered, but your own records thereafter will be
essential in the event of any malfunction.
