Engine Details
The Details panel displays all information for the currently selected Engines. The panel is divided into three
sections:
• Engine Details — displays the same information as in the Engine list
• Switches (ISIS | 7500) — lists basic configuration and status information of all ISS and IXS modules connected
to the shared storage network
• Storage Managers — displays information also available in the Storage Managers list
The information displayed is as seen by the System Director. Some of the information is embedded in the Engine,
and other information is assigned to the Engine by the Avid ISIS software.
You can sort the information in the Switches and Storage Managers sections of the Details panel by clicking any
column heading. For more information on sorting items in columns, see
“Sorting Information” on page 24.

Removing Engines from the Engine List
If you need to replace an Engine, you can use the ISIS Management Console to remove the connection history of the
inactive or inoperative Engine from the list in the Engines page. Once the Engine is removed from the ISIS file
system, you can physically remove it from the network.
For information on removing Engines from the network, see the Avid ISIS Setup Guide.
To remove an Engine from the Engine list:
1. In the Engine list, select the Engine to remove.
2. Click Remove Status.
The Engine is removed from the Engine list.

If you remove an active Engine by mistake, the System Director restores the Engine to the Engine list the next time it
polls the shared storage network (usually within 20 seconds).
