Installing the Mac OS X Operating System
You now need to install the Mac OS X operating system using the
instructions provided by Apple. The only supported version at this time is
Mac OS X v10.2.2. Do not use any version later than v10.2.2 and always
disable automatic updates unless told otherwise in the release notes.
The following are a few different system scenarios you can have in the
field:
• Your system has Mac OS v9.x.x and you have the Avid board set
installed.
• Your system has both Mac OS v9.x.x and Mac OS X v10.1.x and you
are using Mac OS v9.x.x with the Avid board set.
• Your system has both Mac OS v9 x.x and Mac OS X v10.2, or v10.2.1
and you are using Mac OS v9.x.x with the Avid board set.
c
If your system shipped from Avid with Mac OS X v10.1.x, v10.2, or
v10.2.x, that version was never booted and registered. If you attempt
to boot directly to Mac OS X v10.1.x, v10.2, or v10.2.x, your system
will hang. You must use the following procedure to bring the system to
v10.2.2 for use with the new Avid software.
To bring your system to the needed version to run the new Avid
applications:
1. Purchase or find the Mac OS X v10.2 CD-ROMs if they shipped with
your system.
2. Turn off all external drives on the system.
3. Boot from the Mac OS X v10.2 CD-ROM and install the Mac OS X
v10.2 software. You must register the software and provide a user
name during the boot procedure.

When asked if you want to go and get the latest updates, select No. The
monitor connected to the EDC board will not display with the proper
resolution until the Avid software is installed.
4. Go to the Apple Web site and download the Mac OS X v10.2.2 Combo
update and install it.
