Installing the Content Delivery Engines

This chapter provides the necessary information to properly install the CDEs. This chapter contains the

following sections:

• Server Types, page 3-1

• Tools and Parts Required, page 3-2

• Unpacking the Box, page 3-2

• Verifying Contents, page 3-3

• Inspecting for Damage, page 3-3

• Installing the CDEs, page 3-3

Note This chapter only provides information on CDEs that were shipped after December 1, 2006 and contain

the Lindenhurst chipset. For information on CDEs that were shipped before December 1, 2006 and

contain the Serverworks chipset, see Appendix C, “CDEs with Serverworks Chipset.”

Server Types

There are two types of CDS: Internet Streamer (IS) and TV. Both types of CDS consists of servers that

are connected through Ethernet switches. The Intel Xeon-based servers are populated with multiple

high-capacity hard drives.

There are three distinct server types in the IS Content Delivery System:

• Content Delivery System Manager (CDSM)—CDE100 or CDE200

• Service Engine (SE)—CDE200

• Service Router (SR)—CDE200

Depending on your application, you may have multiple SEs and SRs. A network switch is employed to

link multiple servers together within a larger network.

There are four distinct server types in the TV Content Delivery System:

• CDSM—CDE100 or CDE200

• Streamer—CDE300

• Vault—CDE200 or CDE400

• Integrated Streamer Vault (ISV)—CDE200
