1Avid ISIS 1000 System Overview
The Avid system is a shared storage solution for acquisition, creative, distribution, and archive media workflows.
Avid network storage systems are built for media and entertainment. They enable multiple clients to share,
capture, play, and edit video and audio media.
Clients access ISIS 1000 systems through external switch connections. The ISIS 1000 Management Console
provides workspace and system management functionality.
This chapter provides an overview of the Avid ISIS 1000 system and the basic function of each component. Other
chapters in this guide describe how to install the system in a rack, connect the power and Ethernet cables, and
configure the system.
The Avid ISIS 1000 consists of an Engine, containing one Storage Controller which runs the System Director; two
power supply/cooling modules; one Media Pack (10 drives for data) and two system drives (SSDs). You can
configure up to four ISIS 1000 Engines into a single ISIS shared storage system.
Engine
The Engine is a 2U chassis that contains the other system components.
Data passes between the Engine and clients through a switch connected to the Engine with one 10 Gb Ethernet
connection. This connection provides clients access to the data on the media drives. 10 Gb Ethernet ports on both
the switch and Engine require SFP+ transceivers. For instructions see
page 19
.
“Connecting the Engine to a Switch” on
ISIS 1000 Engine Front
The front of the Engine has a removable bezel (not shown). Removing the bezel allows access to the drive slots.
The ISIS 1000 Engine supports one Media Pack (10 drives) for media storage and two system drives. As shipped
from Avid, the system drives occupy the first two slots in the Engine (0 and 1). Drive slot numbering is shown
below.
Each drive can be removed and replaced separately with the power on.
1
Media Pack and System Drives
The data drives are supplied in Media Packs, 10 drives per pack, 2TB of storage capacity per drive. System drives
(two per Engine) have 200GB capacity. The system drives are used by the System Director to store metadata,
startup files, and other system files. Each drive is in a 3.5” carrier; do not remove the drive from the carrier. You
can remove and replace a system drive or a Media Pack drive while the system is running.
The system drives typically occupy slots 0 and 1, and the Media Pack drives typically use slots 2 through 11 (see
“ISIS 1000 Engine Front” on page 1).
You can distinguish between the types of drives as follows:
•System drives are labeled similar to the following, indicating the capacity (200GB), the letters SS for solid
state, followed by a manufacturer serial number:
•Media Pack drives are labeled similar to the following, indicating the capacity (2TB), the abbreviation 7K2
indicating the drive speed (7200 rpm), followed by a manufacturer serial number:
Engine
System drives are physically 2.5” but are shipped in a 3.5” carrier, like the Media Pack drives.
The ISIS 1000 can run with one failed system drive, but Avid recommends replacing it as soon as possible. You
can remove and replace a system drive while the system is running.

System Director
The System Director maintains all information about the file system, but not the data in those files. The System
Director is embedded on the Storage Controller of an ISIS 1000 Engine. Although each Engine of a multi-Engine
ISIS storage system has the capability to run a System Director, there must be only one System Director in an ISIS
storage system. The first Engine configured in a multi-Engine system runs the System Director for the entire
system.
The System Director:
•Manages the metadata by storing directory information and file attributes.
•Provides a location to coordinate file access modes (read/write), file locking, range locking, performance data
collection, logging, file lookup, and directory change tracking for client systems.
• Provides the following information to a client or storage system:
-Identity of all connected storage systems
-Information about the drives, power, cooling and Storage Controllers in the configuration
-Names of workspaces
-Lists of users and groups within the system
The System Director does not store client data (media files); these are stored on the Media Packs (drives) within
the Engine. System Director metadata is mirrored on the system drives in the Engine.
Engine
System Directors, workgroup servers, and clients must all be synchronized with a common time of day. For
information on setting the Network Time Protocol (NTP), see
Power Supplies
The power supplies are turned on when the power cord is plugged in and the power switch is on. The power
supplies provide power and contain fans that cool the system.
The ISIS 1000 Engines need only one of the two power supplies to supply the needed power to function properly.
You can remove and replace a power supply while the system is running if one fails.

Client Support
ISIS 1000 systems support up to 30 connected clients, 24 of which can be active at the same time. The clients
connect to a switch through either a 1Gb or a 10 Gb connection, and the Engine connects to the switch using a 10
Gb connection. Through the switch, clients communicate with the ISIS system to create, modify, and read files.
A client uses mechanisms specific to its operating system to display, create, and delete files within the Avid shared
storage network system. For example, when viewed from a Windows operating system, the client system sees a
server containing many shares that can be mapped to drive letters.

2Connecting the Equipment
This chapter explains how to rack mount and connect the system hardware.
Rack Mounting Guidelines and Requirements
Avid recommends installing the ISIS 1000 in a rack, using the following guidelines:
•If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment
might be greater than room ambient. Make sure the rack environment is compatible with the maximum
ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
•Avoid uneven mechanical loading.
•Make sure your rack enclosure is stable enough to prevent tipping over if using extending sliding rails.
•Follow the equipment nameplate ratings to avoid overloading the circuits.
•Maintain reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment, especially regarding supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (for example, power strips).
•Avid airflow is from the front of the enclosure to the rear. Make sure nothing blocks airflow to the front panel
surface and the rear.
Avid recommends that you leave a 1U or half-U space between each piece of equipment mounted in the racks.
This allows for better airflow and cable access, and helps stop vibration in any equipment being transferred to
spaces above and below.
Avid recommends that you leave an 8 to 12 inch space empty beneath the lowest piece of equipment installed
in the rack. This allows for better airflow and lowers the possibility of dust or dirt being picked up by the
devices.
•For normal operation, maintain approximately 2 feet (0.6 meters) of open space in front of and behind the
rack. This allows free access to the components in the rack for operating changes or adjustments. For service,
maintain approximately 3 feet (1 meter) of open space in front of the rack and 2 feet (0.6 meters) of open
space behind the rack. This allows for the removal of any component that needs to be replaced.
w
c
To ensure the stability of the rack enclosure, install the heaviest equipment in the lower sections of the rack
enclosure. Install lighter equipment in the middle and upper sections.
For information about power specification and dimensions see “Specifications and Notices” on page 39.
Mounting the Engine
The ISIS 1000 Engine is designed for 19-inch (483-mm) rack configurations and requires two EIA rack units of
rack space. The rack mount can accommodate racks with round, square, or threaded holes, sometimes called
broadcast racks. Installation instructions are included on a decal located on the side of one of the bracket rails.
Do not lift the Engine by the handles on the power supply units, cooling modules or Storage Controller – they are
n
not designed to support the weight of the entire system.
