Setting up the Polycom RAS

200IServer

This chapter describes the set up steps for the Polycom®RAS™ 200Iserver:

•“Inspecting the Package”

•“Specifying Required Materials and Equipment”

•“Ensuring System Safety”

•“Identifying System Connections and Controls”

•“Setting up the System”

Inspecting the Package

Inspect the shipping box for the system and record any damage. If the

system has been damaged, file a claim with the delivery carrier.

The package includes the following items:

•Polycom RAS 200Iserver, with preinstalled conferencing

management application software

•Power cord

•Rack-mount brackets

Specifying Required Materials and Equipment

The materials and equipment required to set up the system include:

•Polycom RAS 200Iserver

•Power cord (already included)

•Client computer, with a keyboard, monitor, and mouse

Ensuring System Safety

To ensure system safety, follow these guidelines:

•Keep the area around the Polycom RAS 200Iserver clean and

uncluttered.

•The system weighs about 23 lbs (10.5 kg). To lift the system, two

people (stationed one at each end) should lift slowly, with their feet

spread apart to distribute the weight evenly. Always keep your back

straight and lift with your legs.

Electrical Safety Precautions

To ensure electrical safety, follow these guidelines:

•Note the locations of the power on-off switch on the chassis and the

room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch, or

electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then shut off

power quickly.

•Do not work alone when handling high-voltage components.

•Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge for

protection from electrical shock. Use rubber mats that have been

designed specifically as electrical insulators instead.

•The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and be

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

Rack-Mount Safety Precautions

To ensure rack-mount safety, follow these guidelines:

•Determine a suitable location for the equipment rack that holds the

system. The location should be a clean, dust-free, well-ventilated area

that is near a grounded power outlet. Avoid areas where heat,

electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields are generated.

•Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully

extended to the floor, so that the full weight of the rack is resting on

them.

•In a single-rack installation, make sure stabilizers have been attached

to the rack.

•In multiple-rack installations, make sure the racks have been coupled

together.

•Make sure the rack is stable before you extend a component from the

rack.

•You should extend only one component at a time. If you extend two or

more components simultaneously, the rack may become unstable.

•Before you install the rails, determine the placement of each

component in the rack.

•Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and

then work up.

•Use a regulating, uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the

system from power surges, voltage spikes, and power failures.

•Allow the power supply to cool before you touch it.

•To maintain proper cooling, keep the rack's front door and all panels

and components on the systems closed, except during servicing.

Identifying System Connections and Controls

The system has front and rear panels. The front panel includes five lights:

•Power--Confirms when the system has power.

•HD--Confirms that the hard drive is working.

RAS 200IGetting Started Guide

4Polycom, Inc.

•LAN1 and LAN2--Confirms when there is LAN traffic

•Temperature--Indicates an overtemperature

The rear panel includes the main power switch and connections for power,

network, and Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, as shown in the following

diagram.

The following table describes the items shown in the diagram.

Setting up the System

You must configure the Polycom RAS 200Iserver before it can be

deployed and accessed remotely from a web browser within your

network. There are two ways to configure a Polycom RAS 200Iserver:

•Connect a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the unit and configure it

locally
