Installing the Edit Display Controller Board
Compaq includes an AGP board with the W8000 system. In most
NewsCutter system configurations, the AGP board is not installed in the
Compaq W8000 system. The NewsCutter system is designed to work with
the edit
display controller board.
NewsCutter Release 3.x uses the edit display controller board installed in a
PCI slot to connect the monitor. Use Table 5 on page 29 to identify the PCI
slot where the edit display controller board needs to be installed. Figure 10
shows the edit display controller board.

To install the edit display controller board:

2. Put on an antistatic wrist strap and connect it to a metal ground point
on your system.

To avoid static damage to your circuit board, take the proper antistatic
precautions before handling the board.
3. Remove the cover according to the manufacturer’s documentation (if
not already done).
