Connecting Power to Equipment
Two 10A power cables (North America standard) are shipped with all Avid NEXIS | E2, Avid
NEXIS | E2 SSD, Avid NEXIS | E4, Avid NEXIS | PRO, and System Director Appliance systems.
You might need to obtain power cords from your local reseller or support depot suitable for your
locale.
The Avid NEXIS | E5 or Avid NEXIS | E5 NL Engine comes with two C19 to C20 power cables in
the shipping box. The C19 end is a female connector which plugs into the power supply on the
Engine. The C20 end is a male connector, which plugs into a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) with

Avid does not recommend any specific vendor or model of PDU. A PDU is a rack mount ready, high
current power strip that can offer a variety of plug types. Purchase a model that suits the needs of the
equipment in your rack.
For the Avid NEXIS | E5 or Avid NEXIS | E5 NL, connect each power supply in the Engine to a
different 30-amp circuit. This allows the system to continue running if one circuit fails.
