Avid ISIS Hardware

RAID Behavior in the Engine
Once the three RAID groups have been created, any of the drives in the Engine can be swapped
within the Engine. The Avid ISIS uses the drive IDs to track what five drives are members of
each of the three RAID groups.
If a single drive should fail, the Avid ISIS automatically starts a repair of the RAID group using
the spare drive in the Engine.
Avid ISIS Rear Panel
The Avid ISIS rear panel provides access to the power supplies, system drives, video port,
1 gigabit (Gb) Ethernet connectors, 10 Gb Ethernet port, serial connector, and two USB
connectors for the application key, and keyboard or mouse.
