Cisco Cisco Content Acquirer Application Installation Guide

You need the following to install the Internet Streamer CDS Release 3.2 software on a Dell R720xd 
platform:

VGA, USB Keyboard and Mouse

USB CD Drive

Desktop (if you need to access the server through the iDRAC GUI)

Minimum of 7 IP configurations, each with an Ethernet cable attached to a switch-one to the iDRAC 
and the others to the 6 NICs (4x1GBPS and 2x10GBPS)

One Virtual Drive (VD) must be present (see the 

 section 

to verify and configure a VD)

The first step to getting a DELL server up and running is to install the server in its physical location. 
Dell servers running Internet Streamer CDS Release 3.2 software are typically rack-mounted servers, so 
you are most-likely installing the server to a rack. See the “Installing the Server” section in the Dell 
Installation and Service Guide or the “Installing the Server” section of the Dell Installation and Service 
Guide for the rack installation procedure for the respective servers.

This document assumes that the following steps have been performed as part of the rack installation 
process:

Disk bays are populated with disk drives (26 Discs).

Power cable is connected to the server (2 power cables).

The Dell720 has an integrated management functionality known as the iDRAC. iDRAC allows you to do 
the following:

Configure BIOS settings through HTTP.

Remotely power cycle the device.

Control video, mouse and keyboard (Virtual Console).

Mount a virtual CD-ROM/iso-image to the system.

Connect and perform various other operations.

See the “iDRAC Settings Utility” section in the Dell PowerEdge R720 and R720xd Owner's Manual for
