Chapter 2 – Describes how to install a populated Expansion Chassis when it is shipped as part of a new Avid systems. -
Page 12: Symbols And Conventions
Appendix A – Provides mechanical, electrical, environmental, and regulatory specifications for the Expansion Chassis and 3D Effect cover. Appendix B – Describes how to access and replace the two fuses in the Expansion Chassis. Symbols and Conventions This document uses the following special symbols and conventions: 1. -
Page 13: Chapter 1 Overview
The Avid 3D Effects Option is a set of three processor boards that enhance and extend the effects capabilities of the Avid software. The boards are housed in a penthouse cover that you add to the Expansion Chassis and attach to the Advanced JPEG card in the chassis. The 3D Effects Option components include: •... -
Page 14: Chassis Front And Rear Panels
The front panel of the Expansion Chassis has a power on/off switch and a power on indicator. Figure 1 shows the rear panel of the Expansion Chassis. It has an AC power input, a fuse holder, 12 standard NuBus slot openings, and an expansion panel. The expansion panel supports future connector options that use a larger than standard NuBus opening. -
Page 15: Macintosh Compatibility And Slot Limitations
NuBus architecture limitations (some slots in the Macintosh and the chassis are duplicates). For the Macintosh models that can connect to the Expansion Chassis, you can only use from nine to 13 slots between the Macintosh and the chassis. -
Page 16: Rack Mounting Options
Rack Mounting Options The Expansion Chassis, with or without the 3D Effect cover, can be mounted in a standard 19-inch rack. To ensure safe installation in a rack configuration, Avid recommends mounting the chassis in the lower half of the rack. A set of rack- mount slides are available from Avid for mounting the Expansion Chassis. -
