Supported Video Card
1.)

2.)
NVIDIA K5200 8GB PCI-e video board
System Disk Drive
– 500 GB (recommended) SATA-II 3Gb/s 7200RPM.
Lenovo offers higher performing solid-state and SAS
boot drive options which are acceptable options. Recommend a Lenovo qualified drive be selected.
Standard AVID memory configuration:
32GB (8 x 4GB) DDR4 2133MHz ECC memory – (Requires eight 4GB DIMMs,
DIMM sizes cannot be mixed sizes
)
4GB memory modules must be installed in
equal numbers of memory modules in both
sets of microprocessor DIMM slots for maximum performance. See inside cover
for specific slot requirements.
Optional AVID memory configuration:
64GB (8 x 8GB) DDR4 2133 ECC memory
– (Requires eight 8GB DIMMs,
DIMM sizes cannot be mixed sizes
)
Memory configuration constraints
-
No other memory configurations are formally supported in AVID environments. Only the 32GB (8 x 4GB), and 64 GB
(8 x 8GB) configurations are supported. Un-balanced memory configurations which mix and match memory module
sizes and locations will result in a poor performing, non-optimal operating environment.
-
NUMA should be disabled in BIOS
2.) Qualified Operating Systems, Avid Client Editing Applications, Hardware and Shared-Storage support
