CHAPTER 17
Hardware SpeciÞcations
This chapter provides information about requirements for the site
where the Avid system is installed and the physical dimensions and
power requirements for the Avid system components.
Site Requirements
The following are the site requirements for all Avid systems.
Power Requirements
Each channel of an Avid DNG product requires one circuit of 20 A, 110
to 120 V ac, 60 Hz or 10 A, 220 to 224 V ac, 50 Hz. Storage upgrades
might require additional electrical service. Consult your Avid
representative. Surge protection and an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) are recommended for all systems.
Rack-mounted systems using 120 V ac require a female NEMA L5-20
receptacle located within 24 inches of the base of the rack. There must
be one connector for each Avid Media Processor.
The 220 V ac systems ship with pigtails on the input cable. Consult
your local electrical codes for details.
