The Avid NEXIS File Gateway server enables network users to access Avid ISIS and Avid NEXIS workspaces in a non-realtime scenario. Depending on the access permission, network users can read, write, and delete files on workspaces without using up Avid NEXIS client licenses. This chapter provides an overview of the Avid NEXIS File Gateway server.

The File Gateway is a separate server that is attached to a switch connected to your Avid NEXIS system. If you already have an AS3000 server in your environment, left over from use in an Avid ISIS environment, you can redeploy it for Avid NEXIS use. Unlike in some Avid ISIS environments, you cannot install the File Gateway software on the Avid NEXIS system.

File Gateway Server

The File Gateway server is 1U high (see “File Gateway Server Front Panel” on page 9) and allows users to move files between their local system and Avid NEXIS workspaces over the network using Common Internet File System (CIFS), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or both. The File Gateway server does not store the files; files are stored in the workspaces within the Avid NEXIS engines.

The File Gateway server supports only a 10GbE connection to a switch.

Connect the File Gateway server as a routed client in the Avid NEXIS environment. The File Gateway server allows FTP clients to access Avid NEXIS workspaces in a non real-time environment over a WAN/Internet. Avid provides no performance guarantees with Avid NEXIS when using an FTP client.

The default File Gateway server password is set to is-admin.

The Avid NEXIS systems, workgroup servers, and clients must all be synchronized with a common time-of-day. For information on setting the Network Time Protocol (NTP), see your Avid Administrator.

File Gateway Server Client

A File Gateway uses a 10 Gb Ethernet connection to a switch to communicate with the Avid NEXIS architecture. The File Gateway server displays, creates, and delete files within the Avid NEXIS shared storage network system through the Windows operating system as shares that are mapped to drive letters.

Customer Responsibility

Before installing your Avid workgroup hardware, you are responsible for:

File Gateway Server Client

• Developing a floor plan for your hardware configuration. This includes the Avid workgroup and attached clients.

• Preparing your site to meet all the proper power, environmental, and space requirements for the Avid hardware and any attached Avid clients. To obtain site requirements for your Avid clients, see the Knowledge Base on the Avid Web site (www.avid.com).

• Obtaining a rack for mounting Avid products. For rack recommends, see “Rack Mounting the

File Gateway” on page 14.

Choose a rack that has recepta cle s an d plu gs ap propriate for the power requirements of the hardware you are purchasing.

• Obtaining a display for accessing the File Gateway server through the network.

• Obtaining and running all cables between the Avid hardware and any attached clients throughout your facility.

• Running all cables related to your LAN, and providing the proper network setup and connections.

• Installing and configuring any Ethernet routers or bridges, not supplied with the Avid

workgroup, before the Avid representative begins your system installation.

• Installing appropriate Ethernet connections within the areas where Avid workgroup and clients are being installed.

Avid is not responsible for installing or troubleshooting cables that you do not purchase from Avid. Avid also does not provide network services for your in-house network and strongly suggests you use a local service provider to install and set up network connections. Avid does supply networking services for any Ethernet connections between the Avid workgroup, its clients, and its servers.

Customer-Supplied Components

You must supply the following components in Avid shared storage environments and workgroups:

• Avid qualified or approved Gig-E Ethernet switch with 10 Gb ports

• Industry 19-inch standard rack

• Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

• A keyboard, video, and mouse switch (KVM)

Security Considerations

Address all security concerns for the Avid hardware during site planning. Planning and implementing security for the hardware before installation helps you avoid disrupting or moving the hardware and users at a later time.

If you have a secured network area for the Avid hardware, you might need to arrange security clearance for the Avid administrators who access the hardware.

Cabling Considerations

When planning your cable routes, make sure your cables cannot be damaged by traffic or moving objects.

Network Configuration

Consider the following when setting up your network.

Computer Names

A hostname must comply with RFC 952 standards. For more information, see “Naming Conventions in Active Directory for Computers, Domains, Sites, and OUs” on the Microsoft Support Knowledge Base.

Entries on the DNS Server

Make sure that you correct any errors in DNS entries for name to IP resolution. The Avid network can become sluggish and unstable if there are incorrect entries in the DNS server for any of the computers in the environment.

If your work environment includes Avid Interplay servers you might need to configure your DNS

server to support Reverse Lookups. Reverse Lookup is required for the Interplay Framework.

Computers with Multiple Network Interfaces

Computers that have multiple network interfaces in use must be entered in DNS so that all IP addresses have the same hostname. The File Gateway should have separate and unique DNS entries for each network port IP address.

If you have multiple network interfaces on a computer and one is not used, use the Device Manager to disable the interface.

Network Configuration

Extended Network Environments

In an Avid NEXIS environment, if your network extends beyond switched or routed connections, you must configure a Layer 3 switch/router to communicate between the two subnetworks.

2 Connecting the File Gateway Equipment

This chapter explains how to rackmount and connect the system hardware.

Rack Mounting the File Gateway

The File Gateway server is designed for 19-inch (483-mm) rack configurations and requires one EIA rack unit (1U), or 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) of rack space. The rail kit installs into rails that are between 23 inches (584.2 mm) to 31 inches (787.4 mm) inches deep. An optional rail kit is available for racks that are up to 37 inches deep.

The File Gateway server includes rack mounting slide rails. If instructions are included with your rail kit, use them instead of the instructions included in this section. The standard rail configuration is for racks with square mounting holes. Optional brackets are included for racks with round holes. The rack-mounting kit requires mounting inner slide rails to the server and mounting outer slide rails to the rack. Once both the inner and outer rails are in place, slide the server with the inner rails attached into the outer rails. Secure the server in the front of the rack using the supplied screws.

The File Gateway server is designed to be installed horizontally in a rack. Installing the File Gateway server on an angle or in a sloped console causes the internal drives to wear faster than the intended life of the drive.

To ensure the stability of the rack enclosure, install the heaviest equipment at the bottom of the rack enclosure, and install lighter equipment in the middle and top.

Rack-mount Requirements

Avid recommends installing the Avid hardware 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.

Rack Mounting the File Gateway

• 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.

• Allow at least 0.5 in (1.3 cm) clearance on top of the enclosure for cover removal.

T o ensur e the stability of the rack enclosure, install the heaviest equipment in the l ower 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 61.

1. Lift and position the server so that the inner slide rails (secured to the File Gateway server) are aligned with the outer slide rails secured to the rack.

2. Push the front of the File Gateway server flush against the front mounting rail. The holes in the server front panel align with the holes in the front mounting rail.

3. From the front of the rack enclosure, insert the large Phillips-head screw through the File Gateway server and front mounting rail.

- Square hole racks — Use the middle hole of the outer rail kit to secure the server front panel

to the vertical rail. An M6x10 screw is included in the parts kit to secure the front panel.

- Round hole racks — Attach the server front panel to the vertical rail of the rack. Use a truss

head screw or hardware that comes with your rack to secure the front panel.

Front Panel Screws

Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse Connections

Use an industry standard USB keyboard, USB mouse and VGA monitor to access the File Gateway server. You can optionally use a KVM switch if several servers are installed in the rack. The keyboard, monitor, and mouse connections use the ports described in the following procedure. Follow the instructions supplied with your KVM switch. You must supply KVM cables that are compatible with your KVM switch.

There are only two USB ports on the rear of the File Gateway server. One of the ports is typically

used for the application key. When you purchase your KVM switch make sure it includes a USB splitter cable so that both your keyboard and mouse can plug into the splitter cable and use a single USB port on the server.

The following figure shows the rear panel of the File Gateway server and the connections used during the setup.

File Gateway Server USB and Monitor Ports

To connect a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the File Gateway server:

1. Install your KVM switch in a suitable slot next to the File Gateway server in the rack.

You can also place the monitor on a shelf, and the keyboard and mouse on a sliding tray in the rack. These items are optional and can be purchased locally or from Avid.

Do not place the monitor on top of the File Gateway server.

2. Attach the VGA connector on the monitor cable to the 15-pin video port on the back of the File Gateway server. Secure the connector with the thumbscrews on the connector. For exact locations see “Network Connection” on page 21.

3. Insert the connector on the keyboard and mouse cables into a USB splitter cable.

If you do not have a USB splitter cable, plug your keyboard and mouse cables directly into the USB

ports on the rear of the File Gateway server.

4. Insert the other end of the USB splitter cable into a USB connector on the back of the File Gateway server.

Network Connection

Before you define the IP addressing for your File Gateway and configure the static internal IP addresses, make sure you understand how the addresses are assigned within the Avid NEXIS environment.

Connect the two (Intel Pro 1000) Ethernet ports on the right side of the File Gateway to the switch using a CAT5 E, CAT6 cable or better.

File Gateway Server Ethernet Ports

The overall process for setting up the File Gateway server is as follows:

1. Configure the IP addresses for the File Gateway server.

The ghost image on the File Gateway servers does not set the IP addresses of the two onboard

network ports; the system is set for DHCP.

2. Install the File Gateway software:

t To install and configure the CIFS software, see “Configuring the Server for CIFS Access”

on page 29.

t To install and configure FTP, use the Windows Creation Wizard. See “Configuring the

Server for FTP Access” on page 35.

Switched Configurations

A switched (indirect connect) configuration consists of a group of clients connected to an Ethernet switch with a 10 Gb port connected to an Avid NEXIS Engine. Both Ethernet ports on the File

Gateway server connect to one subnet via the switch using a 10 Gb port. CIFS and FTP clients can

also use 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections.

Connecting the File Gateway server to the switch allows the CIFS and FTP traffic to completely

bypass the Avid NEXIS client traffic.

Network Connection

Setting Up Separate Network Traffic

The File Gateway server uses the built-in Ethernet ports on the back of the server. Each port is dedicated to specific network traffic. Avid recommends you rename these ports so they can be easily identified as Avid NEXIS Traffic and CIFS_FTP Traffic. Both these network ports require static IP addresses (no DHCP). The Avid NEXIS Traffic port requires a setting change.

The following procedure describes how to rename and configure the File Gateway server ports on the Avid NEXIS shared storage network for dedicated Avid NEXIS and CIFS_FTP Traffic. Both server network ports are connected to the switch.

To set up separate network traffic:

3 Installing the File Gateway Software

This chapter describes how to install and manage the File Gateway server software, and how to create Windows users and groups on the server.

The File Gateway software runs on a dedicated File Gateway server.

Make sure you are curren t with all Windows critical updates. Many Windows critical updates have

already been appl ied in the imag e on the Avid NEXIS File Gateway server. Do not turn on automatic updates. Manually apply only the updates that have been approved by Avid. For the current list, access the Knowledge Base at www.avid.com/securityupdate and review the Microsoft Security Bulletin Addendum document. In addition, make sure you apply Microsoft Hotfix KB3033929, which supports SHA-2 code signing.

Installing the Client and File Gateway Software

The Avid Client Manager and File Gateway software is included in the Avid NEXIS software kit, which you can download from your Avid Master account.

Use the Client Manager only to initially connect to, and disconnect from, the Avid ISIS or Avid

NEXIS systems you are using. Make sure to quit (not just close) the Client Manager when finished. Do not run the Client Manager while also running the File Gateway service.

To install the Avid Client Manager and File Gateway software:

1. Log in to the File Gateway server as Administrator (default password:

4 Configuring the Server for CIFS Access

This chapter describes how to configure the File Gateway server to use Common Internet File System (CIFS) and other Avid NEXIS shared storage hardware. The Avid NEXIS and CIFS clients share traffic on the same network port on the back of the server.

Setting the Client Manager Preferences

Set up the Client Manager for separate Avid NEXIS and CIFS_FTP Traffic in the Client Manager Preferences.

Whenever the File Gateway server is restarted the Client Manager software does not automatically

restart. This is not the typical Client Manager software behavior . This change in behavior is set in the Avid NEXIS File Gateway software.

To set the Client Manager preferences:

1. Start Client Manager by doing one of the following:

t Click the Client Manager icon in the Windows taskbar

t Click Start > Programs > Avid > Avid NEXIS Client > Avid NEXIS Client Manager

The Avid NEXIS Client Manager opens.

2. Click the Network Interface Settings button.

Adding Users and Setting Permissions

3. Uncheck the CIFS_FTP Traffic port.

Only the Ethernet ports designated for Avid NEXIS traffic must be checked. Uncheck the other

network ports.

4. Click Apply.

5. Do both of the following:

a. Close the Client Manager Window. This does not stop the Client Manager service.

When the Client Manager is running, an icon appears in the Windows system tray. The Client Manager GUI cannot be running on the File Gateway server. You must quit the application.

b. Right-click the Client Manager icon in the Windows taskbar and select Quit.

Adding Users and Setting Permissions

The Avid NEXIS File Gateway software includes an application called the Configuration Editor that lets you create a configuration file listing the authorized users with permission to specific workspaces.

As part of configuring users and permissions, you can also change the bandwidth. The default bandwidth for the File Gateway server when configured for CIFS is 100 MB/s. The File Gateway server is an Avid NEXIS client and all the CIFS users are clients of the CIFS server.

You can define the File Gateway server bandwidth from 40 MB/s to 240 MB/s (the aggregate bandwidth of CIFS and FTP clients cannot exceed 100 MB/s).

Before adding CIFS users, make sure the Windows users are already listed on the File Gateway server; see “Creating Windows Users and User Groups on the File Gateway Server” on page 26.

To add CIFS users and workspaces:

1. On the File Gateway server, click Start > Programs > Avid > Avid NEXIS File Gateway and select Configuration Editor.

The Configuration Editor window opens.

2. If the System Login dialog box is not displayed, click Connect in the top toolbar of the Configuration Editor window.

Adding Users and Setting Permissions

3. In the Configuration Editor, move the Bandwidth slider to the bandwidth speed you want available to the users, or type the value in the text box next to the slider.

You cannot set separate bandwidth speeds to individual users.

4. Type the user_name in the User Name text box and click Add User.

The user name must match the Windows user names created on the File Gateway server.

If the Configuration Editor is set to User View, the User pane l is on the left and the CIFS Share panel

is on the right. If set to CIFS Share View, the Users panel and CIFS Shares panel switch places, as shown below.

5. With a User Name selected, type or select the name of the workspace you want to be displayed to the client in the Workspace Name text box.

6. In the CIFS Share Name field, enter a name for the shared workspace; it does not have to match the actual workspace name. For example, in the figure above, the CIFS share name WS2 maps to the actual path: \\SRL\workspace2.

7. Click Add CIFS.

8. Continue with “Setting CIFS User Permissions” on page 32.

Setting CIFS User Permissions

You can set permissions for users (to access multiple workspaces), or for workspaces (to make them accessible by multiple users).

To set CIFS user permissions to multiple workspaces:

1. Open the Configuration Editor (if not already open) — Click Start > Programs > Avid > Avid NEXIS File Gateway and select Configuration Editor.

2. Click User View.

5 Configuring the Server for FTP Access

This chapter describes how to configure the File Gateway server to share Avid NEXIS workspaces using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The FTP functionality is done through Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS) and the FTP Service.

Avid recommends the following FTP client applications:

• Microsoft Expression Web 4

• FileZilla

•Core FTP LE

• SmartFTP Client

For information on configuring Microsoft FTP Server Sites, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/

283679.

About the FTP Server

TheFile Gateway server uses the Ethernet ports on the back of the server. Each port is dedicated to specific network traffic. Avid recommends you rename these ports so they can be easily identified as follows:

• Avid NEXIS Traffic

• CIFS_FTP Traffic

The Avid NEXIS Traffic port also requires a setting change. You must first set up your File Gateway in your Avid NEXIS network before installing the software. For instructions on renaming the network ports, see “Setting Up Separate Network Traffic” on page 22.

You set the access privileges to the Workspaces when you add the FTP users in the Windows operating system.

The FTP service used in the Avid NEXIS File Gateway does not support Microsoft Windows Update number KB2489256. If you have Windows Update set to run automatically, this update will fail. Locate the KB2489256 update in the Windows Update list and set it to hidden so that this update does not appear. To hide updates, right-click the individual update and select hide update.

The overall process for setting up an FTP server is to:

1. Create workspaces to be used for FTP access. See the Avid NEXIS Administration Guide.

2. Create an Avid NEXIS user (for example, “ftpuser”) and grant that user Read or Read/Write access to the targeted FTP workspaces according to the access levels needed.

You must create FTP users on both the Windows operating system and the Avid NEXIS System using the Management Console. The Avid NEXIS client user name and password must match the user name and password on the Windows operating system. For instructions on creating Avid

NEXIS client users, see the Avid NEXIS Administration Guide.

Creating FTP Sites (Virtual Directories)

You cannot use a bl ank password for the “ftpuser” account.

3. Create the same user name and password as the Avid NEXIS user (“ftpuser”) in the Windows User Accounts on the File Gateway server; see “Creating Windows Users and User Groups on

the File Gateway Server” on page 26. This is necessary for the Virtual Workspace configuration

later.

4. Create additional User Accounts on the File Gateway server, or the Active Directory Domain Server if this system is in a domain, for FTP client users in order to authenticate and be granted FTP access to the FTP server. Do not use the same user (“ftpuser”), which is specifically for the Virtual Workspace access, for FTP client user accounts; see “Creating Windows Users and User

Groups on the File Gateway Server” on page 26

5. Install the File Gateway software. See “Installing the File Gateway Software” on page 25.

6. [NEW STEP] Start the Client Manager and connect to at least one of the target Avid NEXIS (or ISIS) systems.

7. Create FTP sites. See “Creating FTP Sites (Virtual Directories)” on page 36.

The following block diagram represents how FTP users access workspaces through the File Gateway to the Avid NEXIS.

Creating FTP Sites (Virtual Directories)

Make sure the Avid NEXIS FTP site is running, and the default FTP is not. Create additional FTP sites for the workspaces you want to share. How you start the FTP Site Creation Wizard varies depending on the operating system.

To create FTP sites on Windows Storage Server 2008 R2:

1. Right-click My Computer and select Manage. The Server Manager window opens.

2. Expand Roles.

3. Expand Web Server (IIS).

Creating FTP Sites (Virtual Directories)

4. Select Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

5. Expand the host name.

6. Expand Sites.

7. Make sure the Avid NEXIS FTP Site is started. If not, right-click it and select Manage FTP Site > Start.

Do not modify any settings in the “Blade FTP Share” FTP Site, or its sub-folders. Any changes to the Blade FTP Share could potentially prevent upgrades and client installers from working properly.

8. Right-click the Avid NEXIS FTP Site and select Add Virtual Directory. a. In the Alias field, enter the Alias name of the workspace; for example, my_workspace.

b. Click Connect As.

c. In the Connect As dialog box, select Specify user and click Set.

The Set Credentials dialog box opens.

d. Enter the credentials of the Windows or Avid NEXIS user that you created earlier and click

OK.

e. In the Physical path field, enter the network path to the workspace; for example,

\\virtual_NEXIS_SysDirname\my_workspace.

If a window appears repeatedly asking for a password, close it without entering anything.

For consistency and simplicity, Avid recommends that the workspace name match the alias name.

f. Click OK.

The Virtual Directory wizard completes and the newly created Virtual Directory is displayed in the Server Manager window under Services and Applications > Internet Information

Services (IIS) Manager > FTP Sites > virtual_name > workspace_name.

Configuring FTP Directory Browsing

To display Avid NEXIS Workspaces as FTP Virtual Directories in a browser, you must configure FTP directory browsing. By default, this is disabled by the Windows Server operating system. Enabling this option allows Avid NEXIS Workspaces, folders, and files to display in the client browser.

To configure FTP Directory browsing:

1. Open the FTP Directory Browsing folder.

Configuring FTP Directory Browsing

2. In the Directory Listing Options section, do the following:

a. Enable MS-DOS

b. Enable Virtual directories

Disabling Anonymous FTP Authentication

You must disable the default “Anonymous Authentication” to prevent automatic connections to the default Avid virtual hostname (“Blade FTP Share”).

To disable anonymous FTP Authentication:

1. Open the FTP Authentication page.

2. Disable Anonymous Authentication.

Creating a Virtual Host Name

The ISIS FTP Share and the File Gateway server FTP Share both use Port 21. Create a virtual host name using a different name than the actual host name (an alias name is required), as follows.

To create a virtual host name using the FTP Site Bindings:

1. On the File Gateway server, right-click My Computer and select Manage.

The Server Manager window opens.

2. In the left pane of the Service Manager window, click the plus sign (+) to expand the Roles > Web Server (IIS) > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

Accessing a Workspace Using FTP

3. In the Connections pane, click the plus sign (+) to expand your File Gateway server name >

Sites > and select ISIS FTP Share.

4. In the Actions pane, click Bindings.

5. In the Site Bindings window, select the FTP entry and click Edit.

6. Enter a virtual host name in Host name text box.

This hostname must not match the actual hostname of the System Director. It must be unique in order

to share port 21 and n ot co nflic t with the Bl ade FT P Site. Avid highly recommends you keep the Port setting and IP Address as is.

7. Click OK.

8. Click Close.

Accessing a Workspace Using FTP

After setting up the File Gateway server with an FTP Site, you can use any Windows or Macintosh system on the corporate network as an FTP client to upload or access files on the workspace you have shared.

Windows and Macintosh FTP clients can use all basic FTP functionality and FTP file transfers on a workspace using the command line interface (except as noted) and Internet browsers.

Accessing a Workspace Using FTP

Accessing a Workspace from an FTP Client Using a Command Line

The Windows 2008 Storage Server operating system used in the Avid NEXIS File Gateway server

does not support the FTP Resume and FTP ReGet commands.

To access a workspace from a Windows client:

The Command Prompt window opens.

2. Provide your authentication details (the Windows user name and password created on the File Gateway server); for example:

3. Enter your password.

dir

4. Type

cd \workspace_name

Type

Type Help at the ftp> prompt for a list of FTP commands. When finished with your FTP client

session type “quit” to exit the session.

(to list the contents of the shared workspace.

Accessing a Workspace from an FTP Client Using a Browser

The following procedure works for the Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome browsers.

To access a shared workspace from a browser:

1. Start your Windows or Macintosh system on the corporate network.

2. Start your browser application.

3. In the browser address bar, type:

ftp://virtual_hostname|user_name:password@FileGateway_server_name

Accessing a Workspace Using FTP

For example:

ftp://Nexis-FTP.com|user1:MyPaSsWoRd@Nexis-FTP.com

Any functionality available in the browser is limited by the browser’s capability. For example, on Safari and Firefox, even if the FTP user has been granted write access, write options such as delete, rename, create file/folder, or move files do not work. This is a browser limitation.

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

Avid highly recommends you create a separate derived power system for your Avid NEXIS File Gateway server. This provides protection against sudden power surges or losses that could cause you to lose files or experience data corruption.The power outlets must be from the same distribution panel. This helps prevent ground loops that can be caused by plugging equipment into power sources with different ground potentials. Make sure there is adequate, dedicated power for the UPSes.

All electrical work at your site must be done by a licensed electrician. The electrical changes must meet country, state, and local electrical codes.

The Avid NEXIS File Gateway server supports UPS devices that are connected using network connections, USB connections, and serial connections. Install the software from the UPS manufacturer for advanced shutdown behavior, and to calibrate the UPS device. These software packages also allow for a connected Windows server to send alerts to other Windows servers to perform actions.

–4°F to 140°F (–20°C to 60°C)

If your Avid NEXIS File Gateway server is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure. Make sure there is adequate power and the correct receptacle type for each hardware component, the rack power strips, and the UPSes. Do not use extension cords to plug in any of the hardware components.
