Standard Nearchive Components
The standard Nearchive components include a Nearchive Base Server with 16 external data
drives.
Optional Nearchive Components
The optional Nearchive components include:
• A Nearchive Storage System with 17 drives (16 external for data and 1 internal for the
operating system)
• A standard monitor, keyboard, and mouse
or
• A keyboard, monitor, and mouse assembly (KMM)
• A keyboard, video, and mouse switch (KVM), if you have a Nearchive Base Server with
one or more attached Nearchive Storage Systems.
•An Intel
®
PRO/1000 MF optical Gigabit Ethernet adapter board
• A copper Gigabit Ethernet adapter board
All these components are available from Avid. You can contact Avid Telesales at 800-949-
AVID (800-949-2843), your Avid sales representative, or your Avid Reseller to purchase
these components.
Installing the Nearchive Hardware
The Nearchive Base Server might ship with an onboard copper Gigabit Ethernet adapter
board, capable of Jumbo Frames. For fault tolerance, each Nearchive Base Server and
Storage System unit has three autosensing power supply modules that set the voltage
automatically for either 120 V or 220 V at 50 to 60 Hz.
If you intend to add one or more Nearchive Storage System units and therefore ordered 1 or
more separate Fibre Channel adapter boards for your Nearchive Base Server, the Fibre
Channel adapter boards must be installed.
