Connecting Multiple Engines to the Stacked Switch

The Avid switch configuration file automatically detects the 24 Gb modules. If you need to
change your switch configuration, see Avid Network and Switch Guide included in the
Documentation folder of the software kit.
Force10 S4810 Port Configuration
Avid ships the Force10 S4810 switch pre-configured for an Avid ISIS 5500 environment. This
configuration has specific requirements on where the Engines and clients need to be connected.
The S4810 switch contains 48 dual-speed 1/10 Gb (SFP+) ports as well as four 40 Gb QSFP+
uplinks. The S4810 switch ports are numbered as shown in the following illustration. Engines
and clients connect as follows:
• Avid ISIS 5500 Engines connect via 10 Gb to ports 0 – 5 (these six ports are configured for
10 Gb connections and require 10 Gb transceivers)
• Client connect to ports 6 – 47 (these 42 ports are configured for 1 Gb connections and
require 1 Gb transceivers)
The Force10 S4810 Ethernet switches have been configured for all supported Avid
Configurations. After setting up the switch, the proper configuration is detected at power on. For
more information on the Force10 switch see Avid Network and Switch Guide included in the
Documentation folder of the software kit.
Connecting Multiple Engines to the Stacked Switch
Avid ISIS lets you expand your storage capacity by adding an additional Engines to the System
Director.
To connect the an Engine to the designated System Director:
1. Mount the optional Engine in a rack directly above or below System Director Ethernet
switch.
c
Do not set the Avid ISIS Engine directly on top of any other components on the rack. The
Avid ISIS is too heavy to be supported by other rack components.
