Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Avid highly recommends you create a separate derived power system for your ISIS 7000 System
Director. This provides protection against sudden power surges or losses that could cause you to
lose files or experience data corruption.The power outlets need to 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
UPSs.

You should have all the electrical work at your site done by a licensed electrician. The
electrical changes must meet country, state, and local electrical codes.
The ISIS 7000 System Director 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, calibrate the UPS device. These software
packages also allow for a connected Windows server to send alerts to other Windows servers to
perform actions.
If your ISIS 7000 System Director 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.
