Installing Avid Boards
Instructions on removing the cover and installing expansion boards
are given in the manufacturer’s documentation.
c
To avoid static damage to your circuit board, take the proper
antistatic precautions before handling the board. Often a wrist strap
is provided with upgrade kits.
Be aware of the following before you start:
• Before removing the cover and installing any boards, make sure
the system is working.
c
If you don’t verify that the system is working before you start, and if
a problem occurs after the installation, you won’t know if your
installation caused the problem.
• If you installed additional memory, start the system and check that
the system recognizes the additional memory.
• Install the boards in the lower/inside slots first, and work your
way to the upper/outside slots.
• Install any optional boards you might have purchased at the same
time as this upgrade.
• Ensure each board is seated properly in the PCI slot; never force
the board into a slot.
• Secure each board to the expansion bulkhead after installation.
• (IBM only) If you install the network software and then place a
board in a 64-bit slot, the network driver might fail. If this occurs,
you must reinstall the network driver.
• Return the TARGA 2000 board and the original two-channel audio
I/O board to Avid if your kit requires you to remove them.
