Turning On the Avid ISIS 5500 Hardware
67
t If you are not using an Ethernet switch, attach the Ethernet cable coming from the house
network to one of the two built-in unused Ethernet ports (ports 2 or 5) on the back of the
Avid ISIS 5500. For an exact location see “Avid ISIS Power Connections” on page 46.
Use of these two ports are not prohibited and can be used for remote administration. It is
the responsibility of your house network administrator to configure.
n
Ethernet ports 2 or 5 on the back of the Avid ISIS 5500 do not support the bandwidth needed for
editing clients. Ports 2 and 5 are used for System Director Resiliency, see “Configuring System
Director Resiliency” on page 104.
Turning On the Avid ISIS 5500 Hardware
When you turn on the power to your Avid ISIS 5500 hardware, you must do it in the following
order so that Avid ISIS 5500 will see all of its connected components.
To turn on the power for each component:
1. The Ethernet switch does not have a Power switch. It turns on when you plug the power cord
into a power outlet.
2. Turn on the Power switch for the KVM switch.
3. Make sure you have all your network cables connected before you load the Avid ISIS 5500
software.
4. Push the power button at the top left on the front of the your System Director and Engines,
see “System Front Panel and LEDs” on page 16.
5. Wait for the Windows operating system to load before you attempt to use the Avid ISIS 5500
software.
