Apple Final Cut Server - Manual (Page 68)

68 Part I Installation and Configuration
Device Type Configurations
Device Setup Assistant shows different panes depending on the device type you
choose. See “
Adding a Device ” on page 62 for definitions of these device types.
Local Devices
Local devices include drives that are connected directly to the Final Cut Server
computer. These can include additional internal hard disks as well as connected
FireWire or USB drives. Directly connected Xserve RAIDs are especially useful.
Important: It is strongly suggested that you do not create any devices on the server
computer’s startup disk. Devices contain large media files and can use all of the
available disk space on their hard disk, which causes serious issues if that hard disk is
also the startup disk.
The pane for local devices contains the following settings:
 Device Name: Enter a name for the device.
 Location: Enter a location for the device. This can be a folder on any internal disk
drive or external drive connected using FireWire or USB. Click Browse to locate the
drive and folder to use as the device.
