Installation
Overview
Use this chapter with the ARRIS DSR-7400 HD Series Transcoder / Receiver at firmware version
0x2D4eXX. The instructions in this section describe how to install the unit and access the Operator Guide.
The information in this chapter is the same content as the ARRIS DSR-7400 HD Series Installation Guide.
Rack Mounting Guidelines

The DSR-7400 HD Series, with the supplied mounting brackets is designed for installation in an EIA
standard 19-inch (480 mm) equipment rack. If multiple DSR-7400 HD Series units are installed in a rack
assembly, the operator may choose to have a certification agency to evaluate the condition of the rack. Place
each unit in a stable and level position within the rack and ensure that all front-enclosure screws are
tightened to 14 in-lbs.
Mechanical Loading
The mounting rack location should be secure and level to avoid hazardous instability to the equipment due
to uneven loading or weight distribution within the rack.
Ambient Temperature
When installing a DSR-7400 HD Series unit within a closed or multi-unit rack, the ambient temperature may
be greater than the ambient temperature within the room. Therefore, verify that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation is not compromised (maximum temperature for the equipment is 50° C).
Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature for the unit’s location when
planning for cooling and air circulation. To evacuate the unit’s warm air output from within the mounting
rack, ARRIS recommends the use of a fan on top of the rack.
Circuit Overloading
If the unit is connected to a power strip, rather than a branch circuit’s direct connection, use special care to
ensure that the unit is properly connected. Always consider the affect that overloading circuits might have
on over-current protection and supply wiring. To ensure that circuits are not overloaded, read the DSR-7400
HD Series UL regulatory power label on top of the unit. Check all equipment power/amperage ratings to
ensure the mounting rack power rating is not exceeded.

Configuring IP Input
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure IP input using the web browser’s Transcoding Diagram. This unit
has two IP input ports on the back panel (Ethernet 1 and Ethernet 2) and can process IP input from one port
at a time. To prepare the unit for IP input, the following procedure must be performed at the downlink.
Procedure
To configure IP Input
1. Verify that an IP input is connected to the desired IP input port on the back panel (either Ethernet-1 or
Ethernet-2).
2. Log in to the web GUI (described on page 53), go to the Transcoding Diagram, right-click on the IP port
(located at the bottom of the Input column), and choose Configure IP Input.
3. When IP Input Configuration dialog box appears (shown in Figure 58), use Table 11 on page 66 to specify
the desired settings and select the Apply button.
If a Channel Select method will be

used for this configuration (VCT/VCN),
set these two fields as directed by the
uplink provider.
If an MPEG Select method will be

used for this configuration, leave these
two fields blank.
The uplink provider Choose either Ethernet-1 or Ethernet-2.
