Cabling
44
To remove the Avid engine interconnect Cable from the Rear Connector:
1. While the cable is in the connector, use your bottom hand to grab the cable (or the metal
portion of the connector) and push the cable (or metal portion of the cable) towards the
connector at the rear of the engine.
2. While keeping the pressure towards the engine connector using the cable (or the metal
portion of the connector), use the top hand to pull the blue portion of the cable directly back.
This dislodges the connection of the cable from the connector.
3. Pull back with both hands to remove the cable.
10-Gb Link Aggregation Overview
The 10-Gb Link Aggregation functionality supported by the Avid ISIS 7500 | 7000 software is
described in the following sections. For a procedure on creating a Link Aggregation Group, see
“Configuring a 10-Gb Link Aggregation Group” on page 103
. When configuring a Hi-Gb link
aggregation for ten- and twelve-engines, see
“Hi-Gig Link Aggregation Group” on page 78
.
Link aggregation is a method of combining physical network links into a single logical link for
increased bandwidth. With Link aggregation, your are able to increase the capacity and
availability of the communication channel between devices (both switches and clients) using
existing Ethernet technologies. Two or more 10-Gb Ethernet connections can be combined to
increase the bandwidth capability and to create resilient and redundant links. Link aggregation is
sometimes known as “Trunking.”
Link aggregation also provides load balancing across several links in a link aggregation so that
no single link is overwhelmed.
n
You must disable link aggregation before creating or modifying your Avid ISIS stack. After your
stack has been created, reconfigure your Link Aggregation Groups.
