The Avid MEDIArray

The Avid MEDIArray is an optional storage solution available with the

standard definition version of Avid|DS. You need to install an Emulex fibre

channel controller board to connect the Avid MEDIArray storage to your

Avid|DS workstation.

The Emulex fibre channel controller is available as an option when you

purchase Avid|DS. Contact your Avid|DS reseller for information on

obtaining the Emulex fibre channel controller. For information on installing

the Emulex fibre channel controller, see Installing the Emulex Fibre Channel

Controller on page 48.

Connecting the

Copper Cables to

the Fibre Channel

Controller Board

You can connect the Fibre Channel Drive Enclosure (FCDE) directly to the

fibre channel controller board with the included

copper duplex cable.

To connect the copper duplex cable to the FCDE

1. Locate the copper duplex cable in the fibre channel kit. It has a 9-pin

connector on both ends.

2. Attach one end of the cable to the controller board.

3. Attach the cable’s other 9-pin connector to the primary (PRI) 9-pin

connector on the link control card (LCC) in slot A on the back of the FCDE.

4. Secure both ends of the cable with the thumbscrews on the cable connectors.

For more information, refer to the Avid MEDIArray documentation.
