Connecting the Power Cords
The last step you must perform when cabling up your AirSpeed 5000 is to connect the power
cords. Two U.S. IEC power cords are shipped with the unit. If your local power distribution is
not compatible with the supplied cords, you must provide your own IEC power cables that are
compatible with your country’s power system. The power connector accepts 100 to 240 Vac,
50/60 Hz.
To connect power:
1. Attach the power cords to both power receptacles on the rear of the AirSpeed 5000.
2. Connect the other end of both power cords to a properly grounded stable power source.
The system will power on after you connect the first power supply. The Monitor application
will also automatically launch.
Once powered on, you must set up your system. For more information, see “Turning On the
Avid AirSpeed 5000 Server” on page 56.

For maximum power protection, Avid recommends a surge protected un-interruptible
power supply (UPS).
