Site Requirements
The following are the site requirements for NewsCutter.
Power Requirements
Avid strongly recommends using a surge protector and an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS). If the computer loses power even
for a moment, the entire system will stop functioning. There must be a
20 A, 110 to 120 V alternating current (ac), 60 Hz or 10 A, 220 to
224 V ac, 50 Hz circuit for each NewsCutter. The circuit must have a
dedicated circuit breaker and an isolated ground.
Storage upgrades might require additional electrical service. Take into
consideration the equipment nameplate ratings when addressing this
concern. Consult your Avid representative.
w
Systems are designed to work with a single-phase (three-wire)
power cord with a grounded neutral conductor. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, always plug the cord into a grounded power outlet.
Tab le 7 lists the power requirements for individual system
components. Surge protectors and a UPS are recommended but are not
supplied by Avid.
For best performance, keep all system power connections on the same
power feed distribution panel. Do not connect fans, lamps, coffee pots,
or other equipment to the same outlet that is powering the Avid
equipment.
