Avid ISIS Hardware
The Avid ISIS ships with six on-board 1-Gb Ethernet ports. The Avid ISIS has two
autosensing power supply modules that set the voltage automatically for either 100 V or
240 V at 50 to 60 Hz. For detailed specifications, see “Electrical” on page 170.

The Windows Product Key Certificate of Authenticity is attached to the top of the Engine.
The standard Avid ISIS components:
• Data drives — Each Engine has sixteen, 2 TB, externally accessible, data drives.
• System drives — The Avid ISIS uses two externally accessible, mirrored system drives
for the operating system and application software.
• Ethernet switch — the Ethernet switch is needed when you are connecting more than
four clients. You need to install 10 Gb modules in the Ethernet switch when connecting
optional Avid ISIS Engines.
