• Installing and configuring any Ethernet routers or bridges, not supplied with the Avid
workgroup, before the Avid representative begins your system installation.
• Installing appropriate Ethernet connections within the areas where Avid workgroup and
clients are being installed.

Avid is not responsible for installing or troubleshooting cables that you do not purchase
from Avid. Avid also does not provide network services for your in-house network and
strongly suggests you use a local service provider to install and set up network
connections. Avid does supply networking services for any Ethernet connections
between the Avid workgroup, its clients, and its servers.

Customer-Supplied Components

You need to supply the following components in Avid shared storage environments and
workgroups:
• Avid qualified or approved Gig-E Ethernet switch with 10-Gb ports
• Industry 19-inch standard rack
• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provided by customer
• A keyboard, video, and mouse switch (KVM)

Security Considerations

Security for the Avid hardware should be addressed during site planning. Planning and
implementing security for the hardware before installation would prevent you from
disrupting or moving the hardware and users at a later time.
If you have a secured network area for the Avid hardware, you might need to arrange
security clearance for the Avid administrators who access the hardware.

Supported Cabling

When planning your cable routes, make sure your cables cannot be damaged by traffic or
moving objects. Avid supports the following cable types and lengths when connecting Avid
components and workgroups.

If you need run your cables greater distances, call Avid Customer Support for supported
cable and accessory information. For cable connections, see the Avid Setup Guide for your
product.
