Connecting the Application Key
The application key, commonly referred to as a
dongle
, allows the Avid software to run on
your system. If you have not yet connected the application key, you should do so before you
run the Avid application. If your system has USB ports in the front and in the rear, Avid
recommends that you connect the application key to a USB port at the rear of the system.

Connecting the SCSI Local Storage Systems
Avid Nitris editing systems support the Avid MediaDock Ultra320 as a local SCSI storage
system. Local storage connects to the two SCSI channels at the rear of the workstation and
must be striped to provide the needed throughput.

Avid typically supports newer drives as they become available. For the latest list of
supported drives, see your Avid sales representative.
SCSI Connections at the Rear of the System
n
The connections at the rear of the workstation are HD 68-pin connectors. If you are going to
use SCSI devices for standalone storage, you must order the cables separately when you
order your Avid editing system.
