Upgrading the Hardware to Use an Avid Symphony System
If you are upgrading to an Avid Symphony system you must:
• Remove the old 3D effects board (Genie) from the system and replace
it with the new Z6 board.
• Replace the old Meridien 3D effects daughter board with the new
Meridien III-U 3D effects daughter board. See “Specific Board
Requirements” on page 5 for a description.
There are four major steps involved in replacing the 3D effects daughter
board:
• Disconnecting the Meridien Board Set and 3D Effects Daughter Board
• Removing the Old Meridien 3D Effects Daughter Board (Copperhead
Lite or Rattlesnake)
• Attaching the New Meridien III-U 3D Effects Daughter Board
(Copperhead)
• Connecting the New Meridien 3D Effects Board
Disconnecting the Meridien Board Set and 3D Effects Daughter Board
To disconnect the board sets you need to remove the over-the-top
connector that connects the two boards (see Figure 3).
To disconnect the board sets in one of two ways:
t The preferred method is to grasp the over-the-top connector on both
sides with your fingers and loosen it. Remove it when it is loose (see
Figure 3).
c
Do not attempt to remove the over-the-top connector by prying it off
from the end. This can damage the pins on both board sets.
