Installing the Nearchive Hardware

Connecting a Standard Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse

To connect the Nearchive enclosure to a standard keyboard, monitor, and mouse:

1. Place the keyboard, monitor, and mouse on a suitable desktop or table next to the

Nearchive enclosure rack.

You can also place the monitor on a shelf, and the keyboard and mouse on a sliding tray

in the rack. These items are optional. You can supply them yourself, or you can purchase

them from Avid.

Do not place the monitor on top of the Nearchive enclosure. The enclosure is not designed to

support heavy external weight.

2. Attach the 15-pin connector on the monitor cable to the video port on the back of the

Nearchive enclosure. Secure the connector with the thumbscrews on the connector.

3. Attach the connector on the keyboard cable to the keyboard connector on the back of the

Nearchive enclosure. The keyboard connector is at the bottom left of the connectors on

the Nearchive enclosure.

4. Attach the connector on the mouse cable to the mouse connector on the back of the

Nearchive enclosure. The mouse connector is directly above the keyboard connector.

Connecting Power Cords

Before you attach the power cords to the Nearchive enclosure, make sure the three Power

switches on the Nearchive enclosure power modules are in the off (O) position.

To connect the power cords to the Nearchive enclosure and other components:

1. Plug one power cord into the right power connector on the back of the Nearchive

enclosure.

2. Plug one power cord into the left power connector on the back of the Nearchive

enclosure.

3. Plug the power cords into power outlets.

4. Plug the monitor power cord into a power outlet.
