Unused network connections are disabled in the above illustration. This not required and
depends on your site policies. Some sites disable all unused NICs.
Using the 1Gb Onboad NICs on the Copy Provider
When using the 1 Gb onboard NIC on the Copy Provider, connect the Pro/1000 PT ports
labeled 2 and 4 on the Copy Provider directly into any 1 Gb port on the Avid ISIS Engines.
Connect the Copy Provider to both Avid ISIS systems. Avid does not recommend using the
onboard NICs because performance is better using the Myricom cards.
