Hardware Configurations

Internal Disk Controllers

The Compaq W8000 system has an internal floppy controller (not

discussed) that controls a floppy drive in drive bay 7 (see Figure 3). The

remaining two internal disk controllers are:

• An IDE controller with channels 0 and 1. Each channel has a master

and a slave connection. The system drive is connected to channel 0 as a

master device and there is no slave device attached. Channel 1 has a

cable with two connectors; one connects to the CD-ROM drive (set as

master) in drive bay 4, and an empty connector you could use to

connect an IDE device in drive bay 5 or 6.

• A two-channel Ultra 160 LVD SCSI controller:

Avid uses the power

connector provided for

one of the drive bays to

power a fan needed to

cool the Avid board set.

- Channel A: Channel A has a SCSI cable connected to it internally.

Avid does not support any internal SCSI drives attached to this

channel.

- Channel B: Channel B connects the internal controller with the

external 68-pin SCSI connector on the rear of the system.

If you need to stripe across two channels to store media, install an optional

Ultra 160 LVD SCSI PCI board.

Avid supports only LVD drives off the channel B external 68-pin

connector. Avid does not support any internal drives on SCSI bus

channel A.

Slot Assignments

All systems shipped directly from Avid have the standard peripheral

boards already installed in the NewsCutter system and Meridien I/O box.

Optional peripheral boards, such as an SDTI adapter board, are not

installed.
