Ethernet Switch and PSU Placement per System Configuration
Figure 3 illustrates switch and PSU placement for an example 32-fader (five chassis wide) system.
When determining the placement of the Ethernet switch, observe the following guidelines based on your configuration and frame
depth.
• When assembling an Extended Depth Frame (Frame Chassis Large), install the Ethernet switch in the chassis in the middle,
or next to the middle of the frame as shown in the diagrams on the following pages.
• When assembling a Reduced Depth Frame (Frame Chassis Small) the Ethernet switch must go in the same chassis as the mas-
ter section modules. Depending on where you place your Master section (left-to-right) in the frame, the diagrams showing
switch and PSU placement may not be appropriate for Reduced Depth Frame systems. Just be sure to install the Ethernet
switch in the same chassis as your master section modules, then follow the other guidelines to determine where to install
PSUs. Cable Sets of sufficient length are included with all systems to make connections between the switch and all chassis.
• Install one PSU in each chassis but do not place one in the same chassis as the Ethernet switch. Instead, put two PSUs in an
adjacent chassis.
The diagrams on the following pages show where to put PSUs and the Ethernet switch(es) in Avid-configured and custom
configurations.

If your system includes a Producer’s Desk option, see the Producer’s Desk Guide for switch, PSU, and cabling instructions.
