Figure 9-18 MediaDock Slots and SCSI Buses (Tower
Configuration)
Avid ships the MediaDock conÞgured for one SCSI bus. You can
reconÞgure the I/O extender board inside the MediaDock for a dual-
bus conÞguration (two independent SCSI buses). Access to the I/O
extender board is provided when the MediaDock SCSI connector
panel is removed.
In a dual-bus conÞguration, two different SCSI boards within one Avid
Media Processor, or two separate Avid Media Processors can be
connected to the same MediaDock. Information on conÞguring the
SCSI bus and connecting storage drives is provided in the Avid
MediaDock Setup and UserÕs Guide.
