Rack-Mount MEDIArray ZX Drive Enclosure
Keyboard/Monitor/Mouse Assembly (Optional)
The KMM assembly provides a convenient 1U keyboard, monitor, and mouse
that can be rack-mounted to control whichever computer the
keyboard/video/mouse switch selects. This assembly eliminates the need for
multiple keyboards, monitors, and mouse assemblies, and allows you to save
on rack space. For more information, see “Keyboard/Video/Mouse Switch
(Optional)” on page 20.
Keyboard/Video/Mouse Switch (Optional)
The KVM switch allows you to control the File Manager and any other
computers rack-mounted with the File Manager using one keyboard, monitor,
and mouse. You can switch from computer to computer by using the touchpad
on the front of the KVM switch or from a keyboard.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (Optional)
The UPSs provide power protection when there is a brownout, a power dip or
spike, or a power outage. They can be configured to shut down the File
Manager software and the MediaNetwork storage after approximately
1 minute of power interruption.

Avid recommends that you also use UPSs to protect the clients from potential
data loss if a brownout or a power outage occurs. You must purchase these
UPSs separately.
PortServer and PortServer Pro Systems
Both PortServer and PortServer Pro workgroups expand the client capacity of
your MediaNetwork workgroup by allowing Avid workstations to access
MediaNetwork workspaces without a Fibre Channel connection. These clients
connect to your MediaNetwork workgroup using an Ethernet connection.
