Chapter 3 Installing Memory, the Avid Board Set, and the Fan Assembly

• 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.

Figure 4 on page 28 shows the NewsCutter Release 3.x with the Avid

boards installed in a Compaq W8000 system. Table 5 on page 29 lists the

supported slot configurations for NewsCutter Release 3.x on the Compaq

W8000 system. Use this information for removing and installing the new

boards.

AGP Board

NewsCutter systems shipped on the Compaq W8000 system can easily be

configured for a single or a dual monitor. The configurations depend on

whether one or two video boards are installed. In earlier releases,

NewsCutter systems shipped with one video board installed — the edit

display controller (EDC). NewsCutter Release 3.x has qualified the

accelerated graphics port (AGP) board that Compaq provides, to be used

with a second monitor.

The AGP board is included with the system but is not installed in the

Compaq W8000 system. If you add or remove the AGP board after

installing the NewsCutter application, see “Installing the Edit Display

Controller Board” on page 47.

If you reconfigure the system to its original configuration, you can use the

AGP board for troubleshooting purposes.

If you plan to use the NewsCutter system in a single-monitor

configuration, you must remove the AGP board. To add or remove the

second video board, see “Installing or Removing the AGP Board” on

page 45.

If both the AGP and EDC boards are installed, the Windows operating

system uses the video board installed in the AGP slot as the primary

video board. When one monitor is used, it must be connected to the

EDC board and the AGP board must be removed.
