Installation Prerequisites
To set up a Nearchive Base Server and Storage System, you need:
• A Nearchive Base Server
• A Nearchive Storage System (optional)
• The Nearchive CD-ROM
• A fast Ethernet switch (a nonblocking Gigabit Ethernet-to-1000BASE-T Ethernet
switch) that connects the Nearchive Base Server to the workgroup TransferManager or
standalone Avid editing system. For best transfer speeds when connected to dedicated
TransferManagers, use a Jumbo Frame capable Ethernet switch.
