Drive Array and Slot Locations (4-Channel Models)
For 4-channel model server data integrity, RAID 50 configuration consisting of 2 sets of 5 drives
each are created in the Avid AirSpeed 5000 server.
n
The media drives have been pre-RAIDed at the factory to save time installing and configuring
your system. You must install the media drives in the same chassis with which they were
packaged. Failure to do so will require recreating the media drive RAID set which can take up to
24 hours.
n
The LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager is a RAID utility included with the Avid AirSpeed 5000
(Start > Programs > MegaRAID Storage Manager) and should be used only when instructed to
by Avid Customer Support. For more information, see the AirSpeed 5000 Administrator’s Guide.

The following drive configuration is created when the RAID groups are initially
configured.

E System Reset button Performs a soft reset when pressed. Do not
use this button unless the system has had a
fatal error and you need to restart. A soft reset
restarts the system; it clears all active program
memory (you lose unsaved work) and shuts
down all active programs.
F Red System error LED Illuminates red when an error is detected with
the system (fan, power supply, temperature,
voltage).
