THE SPECIFICATIONS AND INFORMATION REGARDING THE PRODUCTS IN THIS MANUAL ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT
NOTICE. ALL STATEMENTS, INFORMATION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS IN THIS MANUAL ARE BELIEVED TO BE ACCURATE BUT
ARE PRESENTED WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. USERS MUST TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THEIR APPLICATION OF ANY PRODUCTS.
THE SOFTWARE LICENSE AND LIMITED WARRANTY FOR THE ACCOMPANYING PRODUCT ARE SET FORTH IN THE INFORMATION

LOCATE THE SOFTWARE LICENSE OR LIMITED WARRANTY, CONTACT YOUR CISCO REPRESENTATIVE FOR A COPY.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class A devices: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
The following information is for FCC compliance of Class B devices: The equipment described in this manual generates and may radiate
radio-frequency energy. If it is not installed in accordance with Cisco’s installation instructions, it may cause interference with radio and television
reception. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device in accordance with the specifications in
part 15 of the FCC rules. These specifications are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Modifying the equipment without Cisco’s written authorization may result in the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class
A or Class B digital devices. In that event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be required to correct
any interference to radio or television communications at your own expense.
You can determine whether your equipment is causing interference by turning it off. If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the Cisco
equipment or one of its peripheral devices. If the equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interference by
using one or more of the following measures:
• Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
• Move the equipment to one side or the other of the television or radio.
• Move the equipment farther away from the television or radio.
• Plug the equipment into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio. (That is, make certain the equipment and the television
or radio are on circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.)
Modifications to this product not authorized by Cisco Systems, Inc. could void the FCC approval and negate your authority to operate the product.

Obtaining Technical Assistance
Opening a TAC Case

Using the online TAC Case Open Tool is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases.
(P3 and P4 cases are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for
which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the
TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate
solution. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your case
will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The online TAC Case Open Tool is
located at this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen
For P1 or P2 cases (P1 and P2 cases are those in which your production network
is down or severely degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco
TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2
cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.
To open a case by telephone, use one of the following numbers:
Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447
For a complete listing of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml
TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established
case priority definitions.
Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is “down” or there is a critical impact to your
business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around
the clock to resolve the situation.
Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or
significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by
inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time
resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.
Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most
business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources
during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Cisco IP/TV Broadcast Servers

Cisco IP/TV Broadcast Servers are equipped with IP/TV Server software. They
deliver on-demand or scheduled rebroadcasts of IP/TV programs that include
synchronized media produced with Web Presenter, ScreenCaster, and SlideCast.
IP/TV Broadcast Servers are configured with video capture cards to encode
streams from analog video and audio sources. They can receive content from
analog sources such as video cameras, video cassette recorders (VCRs), satellite
feeds, cable feeds, or existing Active Streaming Format (ASF), Audio Video
Interleaved (AVI), or MPEG digital files. IP/TV Broadcast Servers can deliver live
events, such as a chief executive officer’s speech to thousands of employees, while
using the network bandwidth of an individual stream.
IP/TV Broadcast Servers offer varying compression techniques, depending upon
application requirements and available bandwidth. They are ideal for multicasting
live events or prerecorded programs on a scheduled basis.
This section describes the following Cisco IP/TV Broadcast Servers:
• Cisco IP/TV 3425 and 3425A Broadcast Servers
• Cisco IP/TV 3426 Broadcast Server
• Cisco IP/TV 3427 Broadcast Servers
Cisco IP/TV 3425 and 3425A Broadcast Servers

Cisco IP/TV 3425 and 3425A Broadcast Servers support high-performance
encoding, with all encoding done in hardware. They are configured with Optibase
MovieMaker video capture cards. The Cisco IP/TV 3425 Broadcast Server
captures real-time and prerecorded content and streams it over the network using
television-quality MPEG-1 or broadcast-quality MPEG-2 compression
techniques for the highest-quality streaming. The Cisco IP/TV 3425A Broadcast
Server is identical to the IP/TV 3425 Broadcast Server, but encodes and delivers
only television-quality MPEG-1 streams.
Cisco IP/TV 3425 and 3425A Broadcast Servers are configured for AC-input
power and have a single power supply installed. They have two 10/100BASE-T
Ethernet/Fast Ethernet ports with RJ-45 receptacles. Port Ethernet 0 supports
autodetect speed mode and full-duplex operation.

Observe the following general precautions for using and working with your
system:
• Observe and follow service markings. Do not service any Cisco product
except as explained in your system documentation. Opening or removing
covers that are marked with the triangular symbol with a lightning bolt may
expose you to electrical shock. Components inside these compartments
should be serviced only by an authorized service technician.
• If any of the following conditions occur, unplug the product from the
electrical outlet and replace the part or contact your authorized service
provider:
– The power cable, extension cord, or plug is damaged.
– An object has fallen into the product.
– The product has been exposed to water.
– The product has been dropped or damaged.
– The product does not operate correctly when you follow the operating
instructions.
• Keep your system components away from radiators and heat sources. Also,
do not block cooling vents.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your system components, and never operate
the product in a wet environment.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your system components. Doing
so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
• Use the product only with other Cisco-approved equipment.
• Allow the product to cool before removing covers or touching internal
components.
• Use the correct external power source. Operate the product only from the type
of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If you are not sure
of the type of power source required, consult your service representative or
local power company.

OL-4467-01 2-5
Safety Guidelines
• Use only approved power cables. If you have not been provided with a power
cable for your IP/TV server or for any AC-powered option intended for your
system, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country. The
power cable must be rated for the product and for the voltage and current
marked on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current
rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the product.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the system components and peripheral
power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These cables are
equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use
adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use
an extension cord, use a three-wire cord with properly grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cord and power strip ratings. Make sure that the total
ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension cord or power strip
does not exceed 80 percent of the extension cord or power strip ampere
ratings limit.
• Do not use appliance or voltage converters or kits sold for appliances with
your product.
• To help protect your system components from sudden, transient increases and
decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Position cables and power cords carefully; route cables and the power cord
and plug so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that
nothing rests on your system components’ cables or power cord.
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your
power company for site modifications. Always follow your local or national
wiring rules.
System Reliability Considerations

To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure of the following
points:
• Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed.
• Each of the power-supply bays has a power supply or a power supply filler
panel installed.

2-6 OL-4467-01
Safety Guidelines
• For rack configurations, make sure that space is available around the
IP/TV Server to enable the IP/TV Server cooling system to work properly.
See the documentation that comes with the rack for additional information.
• The IP/TV Server cover is in place during normal operation.
• The air baffle cover over the microprocessors remains closed during normal
operation.
• The air baffle is installed between the fans and the power supply.
• Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions provided
with the adapters.
• A failed fan is replaced within 48 hours.
• IP/TV Server is turned off and the power cords are disconnected before you
open the air baffle cover.
• The air baffle assembly is always installed in IP/TV Server except when you
are installing or removing the components that are located under the air baffle
cover.
• When the air baffle assembly is installed in IP/TV Server, the air baffle cover
is always closed.
• Microprocessor socket 2 always contains either a microprocessor baffle or
a microprocessor.
Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge

Static electricity can harm delicate components inside the IP/TV Server. To
prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you
touch any of your system’s electronic components. You can do so by touching an
unpainted metal surface on the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to prevent damage from electrostatic
discharge (ESD):
• When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not
remove the component from the antistatic packing material until you are
ready to install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the
antistatic packaging, be sure to discharge static electricity from your body.
• When transporting a sensitive component, first place it in an antistatic
container or packaging.

OL-4467-01 2-7
Safety Guidelines
• Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use

antistatic floor pads and workbench pads.
• Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
• Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
• Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, because
heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Rack Installation Safety Guidelines

Before installing IP/TV Server in a rack, review the following guidelines:
• Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack.
• Ensure that the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).
• Do not block any air vents; usually 6 inches (15 cm) of space provides proper
airflow.
• Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack.
• Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack.
• Do not extend more than one device out of the rack at the same time.
• Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during
installation.
• Connect the IP/TV Server to a properly grounded outlet.
• Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.
• Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb (50 kg) on top of
rack-mounted devices.
