Installation Records

By the time your server system/network has been fully configured and made operational, you will have added a lot of media, configuration resources, set IP addresses and perhaps assembled a fully populated and cabled rack. Protect this investment by:

•keeping clear and complete records of installations, any additional drivers or software and their versions

•creating a map of your total system and how it is connected, including all IP addresses

•labelling all your cables, perhaps with photos of rear panel connections – the positions of plug connections for audio, capture and network ports are important

•creating a clone or backup of your whole C:\ drive on external storage

•ensuring you have copies of all your media – not just original files received from content creator, but all final converted 7th files, particularly if complex carving has been done.

7thSense has a complete record of your system as it was delivered, but your own records thereafter will be essential in the event of any malfunction.
