Before You Start the Installation
n
If you did not install memory, before you start the installation of the
Avid boards, you must make sure of the following:
•
The system was turned off in a proper manner.
•
The power cord is removed from the rear of the system.
•
You read the User Guide IntelliStation M Pro Type 6868 Professional
Workstation for instructions that explain how to open the system
and install the PCI boards.
•
You use a proper antistatic grounding wrist strap during the
installation.
•
You know the revision levels of the software and hardware (see
the release notes for your Avid Xpress system).
•
You determine the display controller board you have for use
during the driver installation section of this guide.
•
You determine the slot locations of each board for your system
(see "Avid Xpress Board Configurations" on page 4-5).
The following sections are placed in the order that you might want to remove
and install boards. In general, you should start putting boards in at PCI slot
5 (if you have disk controller boards) and work your way up the PCI slot
numbers.
