72 Part I Installation and Configuration
Xsan Devices
Apple Xsan storage area network (SAN) devices provide fast access to media files.
Xsan devices are automatically configured with an edit-in-place path. This allows
Final Cut Server clients with access to the same Xsan volume to have high
performance file transfers. Clients without access to the Xsan volume will experience
normal network performance for file transfers.
Important: Xsan volumes must be mounted locally on this server using the Xsan
Administrator application before it is possible to configure them as Final Cut Server
devices.
The Xsan Device Directory pane contains the following settings:
 Device Name: Enter a name for the device.
 Location: Enter a location for the device. Click Browse to locate the Xsan volume and
folder to use as the root of the device.
