Max Air Startup Sequence

With all system components turned off:
1. Turn on all of the surface modules.
2. Turn on the SC261 System Computer
3. Make sure the system digital sync source is on.
4. Turn on the SH612 Studio Hub (if present), all I/O units, the MOTU MIDI In-
terface and the GP132.
5. The System Computer will finish booting to the Windows desktop.
With the system computer booted and the SH612 Studio Hub (if present), all I/O units,
the MOTU MIDI Interface and the GP132 turned on:
1. Double-click the Max Air icon on the desktop.
2. Turn on the PC253i Interface Pilot, the PC253d Digital Pilot and the DF64.
3. If the modules on the system have previously been saved as default, Max Air
will continue to boot when all modules reach 100%.
4. If modules appear as Unexpected, the user can select all of the modules by
holding down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and selecting each of them. When
all modules are selected, touch Save selected as default, and confirm the se-
lection by clicking OK.
5. Click Continue to finish booting.
Since Max Air has been designed for live, on-air applications, the system is designed
to tolerate variations in the startup sequence. The system will boot properly if power is
applied to all components simultaneously. If this occurs, be sure to check that all com-
ponents are properly locked to a valid master digital sync source.
To restart the system:
1. Shutdown the System PC with the Shutdown button in the About View.
2. Reset the CM404 and CM408 surface modules.
3. Power off the Digital Pilot, Interface Pilot, and DF64 core.
4. Power on the System PC.
Since this takes the longest to boot, power it up first.
5. Power on the Digital Pilot and Interface Pilot.
6. Power on the DF64.
The DF64 must be off for 5 s before powering back on to discharge the PSUs.
7. The system will boot the rest of the way by itself.
