Setup guide

Site Planning

• Provides adequate space in front of and behind the workstation components, so that you

can connect cables and service your workstation. This also provides adequate airflow

for cooling.

• A minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.6 cm) for the side and back panels of the deskside

base unit

• A table (or other surface) that is at least 60 inches wide by 48 inches deep (150 cm ×

120 cm) for the editing workstation

Electrical Requirements

Your site should meet the following electrical requirements:

• Adequate power for each workstation component, so that extension cords are not

needed.

• At least two 15-amp circuits available: one for the workstation, Nitris DNA, and

accessories and one for the Avid MediaDock LVD storage system.

• Site is away from major electrical equipment, such as motors, air conditioners, or

elevators.

• Site is not subject to static electrical buildup.

• Uses an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect your workstation from sudden

power surges or losses, and to save you from the resulting loss of work.

Plug only your Avid DS Nitris equipment into the power strip. Do not plug in coffee makers,

radios, lights, or other such devices.

The following table describes the electrical specifications for the Avid DS system.
