Avid Unity MediaNet
Avid Unity MediaNet is the facility-class media network for content creators
that lets you share a single storage between multiple workstations. You need to
have an Emulex fibre channel controller installed in your Avid|DS workstation
to connect to MediaNet. The Emulex fibre channel controller is available as an
option when you purchase Avid|DS. Contact your Avid|DS reseller for more
information on using Avid|DS with MediaNet.

Controller
Before you use Avid|DS with MediaNet you must install the Emulex card and
relevant drivers in your Avid|DS workstation.
To install the Emulex card and drivers
1. Shut down your workstation and open the cover—see the IBM
IntelliStation Z Pro User Guide for more information.
2. Install the Emulex card in PCI slot 3 of your workstation.
3. Restart your workstation.
Windows 2000 will detect the presence of the Emulex card.
