SMS3 Care and Handling

The SMS3 Media Server is a very sophisticated electronic component. Accordingly, care should be taken not to drop, shake or bump the unit, especially when in use.

Hardware

The unit contains a full-size 160GB hard drive, a powerful compact processor, an Ethernet LAN connection, and connections for a keyboard and mouse. It supports an external hard drive (USB

2.0/1.1 or IEEE 1394) for database backups. The SMS3 will reformat the external hard drive on the first backup, so a dedicated backup hard drive is recommended.

Software

For its operating system, the SMS3 Media Server uses embedded Linux. When controlled by a net- worked computer, the SMS3 is compatible with Windows-based PC and Macintosh web browsers.
