To connect the two boards:
1. Carefully place the new Z6 board into the proper slot of the PCI as
shown in Table 1 on page 24, Table 2 on page 25, or Table 3 on page 27
depending on the system you have.
2. Carefully place the Meridien II or Meridien III board set into the
proper slot of the PCI as shown in Table 1, Table 2, or Table 3
depending on the system you have.
3. Screw the boards to the connector strip at the rear of the system.
4. Carefully position the hard over-the-top connector over the
connectors, and gently, but firmly, press the connector until it is
properly seated (see “Installing the Over-the-Top Connector” on
page 17).

You might have to jiggle the board sets slightly to get the over-the-top connector to
line up properly.
5. Connect the external cable between the Meridien II or Meridien III
board set and the Meridien I/O box. Connect the cable to the “M”
connector of the Meridien II or Meridien III board set.
6. Connect the cable from the display controller board to the
Meridien II or Meridien III board set.
Installing the Over-the-Top Connector
When you install the boards back into the system, you need to install the
hard over-the-top connector (see Figure 2) to connect the Meridien digital
media board set with the new Z6 board.
Connector J3 connects to the Meridien digital media board set, while J1
and J2 connect to the Z6 board.
