Site Planning
When preparing your site, you must consider the environmental, electrical,
and space requirements for your Avid|DS workstation, as well as any
additional equipment that you may need to purchase and its requirements.
Environmental
Requirements
The site you choose for your Avid|DS workstation should meet the following
environmental requirements:
• Clean and dust free
• Free from significant temperature or humidity changes
• Sturdy, level, and not subject to vibration
• Away from high-traffic or high-noise areas
• Provides adequate space in front of and behind the workstation
components, so that you can connect cables and service your workstation.
This also provides adequate air flow for cooling.
• A minimum clearance of 3 inches (7.6 cm) for the side and back panels of
the desk side base unit
• A table (or other surface) that is at least 60 inches wide by 48 inches deep
(150 cm × 120 cm) for the editing workstation
Electrical
Requirements
Your site should meet the following electrical requirements:
• Adequate power for each workstation component, so that extension cords
are not needed.
• At least two 15-amp circuits available; one for the workstation and one for
the Avid MediaDock LVD storage(s).
• Site is away from major electrical equipment, such as motors, air
conditioners, or elevators.
• Site is not subject to static electrical buildup.
• Uses an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect your workstation
from sudden power surges or losses, and save you from the resulting loss
of work.
Plug only your Avid|DS equipment into the power strip. Do not plug
in coffee makers, radios, lights, or other such devices.
