Security Considerations; Environmental Specifications - Avid Technology Unity Media Engine Site Preparation Manual

Chapter 3 Environmental Requirements
For example, the MediaSwitch can operate in an environment of 32°F to 104°F (0°C
to 40°C), but the media engine should only operate in an environment of 50°F to 95°F (10°C
to 35°C). Therefore, the temperature at your site should not drop below 50°F (10°C) or rise
above 95°F (35°C) while the media engine is running. Some of the Ethernet switches shown
are no longer shipping.

Security Considerations

If security for the MediaNetwork hardware is important, you should address this issue
during site planning. Planning and implementing security for the hardware, before its
installation, will save disrupting the hardware and its users at a later time. If there are several
people that need access to the media engine, you might need to arrange security clearance
for all the people who use the media engine.
