2 Connecting the ISIS Equipment
28
To connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the Avid ISIS:
1. Install your KVM switch in a suitable slot next to the File Gateway server in the 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 and can be purchased locally or from Avid.
c
Do not place the monitor on top of the Avid ISIS.
2. Attach the VGA connector on the monitor cable to the 15-pin video port on the back of
the Avid ISIS. Secure the connector with the thumbscrews on the connector. For exact
locations see
“Network Connection” on page 28.
3. Insert the connector on the keyboard and mouse cables into a USB splitter cable.
n
If you do not have a USB splitter cable, plug your keyboard and mouse cables directly into
the USB ports on the rear of the File Gateway server.
4. Insert the other end of the USB splitter cable into a USB connector on the back of the
File Gateway server.
Network Connection
Before you attempt to define the IP addressing for your File Gateway and configure the
static internal IP addresses, make sure you understand how the addresses are assigned within
the ISIS environment.
Connect the two (Intel Pro 1000) Ethernet ports on the right side of the File Gateway to the
Zone 2 switch using a CAT5 E, CAT6 cable or better. For a list of cables qualified with the
Avid ISIS system, see
“Supported Cabling” on page 63.
