Pipeline Hardware, Installation & Setup

March, 2009
ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATING REQUIREMENTS
Plan adequate space for cable routing from the back of the chassis. Ensure that the Pipeline is in close
proximity to your Ethernet and video cables, and that cable connectors are not stressed, bent, or crimped.
Also make sure that you have adequate space for a VTR deck, if necessary.
Allow at least six inches (15 cm) of space between the Pipeline and the nearest object to ensure adequate
airflow. Keep the temperature range within acceptable limits (table below), and keep humidity moderate in
the vicinity. Temperature specifications are as follows:
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Input Voltage. Auto-sensing 100 to 240V AC, 50/60Hz
UNPACK THE PIPELINE
Unpack the contents of the original shipping container; identify each component and determine that they
are in satisfactory condition. If any shipping damage is visible, note it on your shipping documents and
contact your shipping agent and Telestream or authorized Telestream distributor.
Caution
Do not place more than two Pipeline SCs in a stack. If you do, you risk
overheating a unit, potentially leading to operational failure.
Table 2–1. Operating and Storage Temperature Parameters
Modes Temperature Ranges
Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage Temperature -40°C to 60°C (-40°F to 140°F)
Caution
Telestream recommends connecting computer equipment to AC power through
an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with surge protection. Fluctuations in
commercial supply voltage can damage unprotected electronic equipment.
A high quality surge suppressor may be substituted if a UPS is not available, but
it may not provide adequate protection.
Note
Save all packaging materials and store them in a safe place. If you require service – or
move your Pipeline – the packaging materials may be used for safe shipment.
