1 Schematics

Populate the pre-wired CHIPS rack using the following schematics.

1.1 CHIPS Rack Layout Description

UPS - Uninterruptable Power Supply that will power the CHIPS system in the event of

a power cut. The UPS will do a clean shutdown of the system when the battery level

goes below a determined level.

TMS SERVER - The TMS server is where the Theatre Management System (TMS)

software is installed. All ingests of DCPs go through the TMS server either through

USB, eSATA or network interfaces. The CineWatch application is also installed which

provides a system monitoring service over SNMP. It also provides an increased level

of support as Sony can monitor and access the system remotely (if VPN link is

available). Upgrades of the projector firmware/software can be done remotely using

CineWatch

LIBRARY STORAGE - This is included in on board the TMS Server. The Library

Storage contains 8 x 2TB disks formatted to NTFS in a raid 6 configuration leaving

12TB useable space on the disk. Assuming a DCP feature size of 250GB this will

give storage for approximately 60 feature films (200GB DCP).

DCP HDD POWER AND USB DISTRIBUTION - A mains distribution panel is

provided so that a DCP HDD can be powered at the front of the rack. 4x USB ports

are available on the front of the TMS Application Server. Also KDM’s can be ingested

by USB memory stick.

CRU DATAPORT (High Speed Ingest) - The CRU Dataport provides increased

ingest speed through an eSATA interface to the Application Server. 2 x CRU DCP

HDD can be inserted, powered automatically and then ingested using the TMS Client.

KVM MONITOR/KEYBOARD DRAWER - The KVM monitor and keyboard is used for

configuration and maintenance of the system and can access both the Application

Server and the CineWatch Server. The KVM monitor is usually kept closed and not

used for daily use.

48 PORT Gb NETWORK SWITCH - The Gigabit switch is configured with a 4 x 1Gb

trunk to the Application Server for throughput and a single Gb link to each projector,

TMS Client and customer network.

TMS WORKSTATION - The TMS client PC is a standard PC which is not required to

be high performance. From this PC the TMS graphical user interface is accessed

through Windows Internet Explorer (or FireFox). The TMS Client is usually located in

the projection box and is the main point of interaction with the system. Scheduling,

Content Management, Status Monitoring and Show Management can be performed

at this terminal. A system can have multiple TMS Clients.

1.1.1 Rear connections of TMS Server

Please note that the 4 network cables that form the 4Gb TMS trunk to the network

switch are all connected to the Network PCI card not the on board nics.

2 CHIPS Power Up Procedure

Before performing the power up procedure please confirm that all wiring is cabled as

per the network and control schematics

Connect power cable from the UPS to the mains power supply

The UPS cable has two connectors, a C19 16A rectangle connector that connects to

the UPS, and a European plug adapter that connects to the house power supply.

Since the rack only has two servers the standard house power supply will be

sufficient to power the equipment.

Turn on the UPS

Hold the ‘ON’ button on the UPS for 3 seconds to protect the load

Turn on the Supermicro TMS Server

Press the power switch on the front of the server.
