Networking
Avid does not ship the system with networking pre-enabled. You must
determine the type of network used and set the system up accordingly.

Before you set up your network on the IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6866
system, install any boards that need to go in a 64-bit PCI slot first. If
you install a board in a 64-bit PCI slot after you set up your network,
you will need to reinstall the network driver. See “Reinstalling the
Network Driver” in the Avid NewsCutter Release Notes.
Checking the System
Before you add memory or Avid boards, or make any BIOS or
configuration changes to the system, you should turn on the system
and make sure there are no problems.
To make sure the system is functioning and to verify the operating
system and memory requirements:
1. Turn on the monitor and then the system.
n
If this is a new system, log in to the system using the Administrator account
with no password.
2. Double-click the My Computer icon.
The My Computer window opens.
