Rack-Mount Installation

If you need to rack mount the Compaq W8000 system, do it at this time.

Although not explained in this guide, there is a new rack-mount kit

available from Avid for the Compaq W8000 system that is a combination

of the rack-mount kit from Compaq and a tray provided by Avid. The

rack-mount kit requires that you replace the front bezel and floppy drive.

Replace these items before installing the Avid boards. Installation

instructions are included with the kit.

Installing Avid Boards

Instructions on removing the cover and installing expansion boards are

given in the manufacturer’s documentation.

To avoid static damage to your circuit board, take the proper antistatic

precautions before handling the board.

Be aware of the following before you start:

• Before removing the cover and installing any boards, make sure the

system is working.

If you do not verify that the system is working before you start, and if a

problem occurs after the installation, you will not know if your

installation caused the problem.

• If you installed additional memory, start the system and check that the

system recognizes the additional memory.

• See the Evo W8000 Hardware Reference Guide PDF file for

instructions that explain how to open the system and install the PCI

boards.

• Determine the slot locations of each board you will be installing (see

“Slot Assignments” on page 27).

• Install the boards in the lower/inside slots first, and work your way to

the upper/outside slots.
