Installing the Avid System Software

Use the release notes for your specific system to install the Avid

system software. Note the recommendations that suggest:

•That you do not restart the system when asked

• That you close the Install Wizard window when complete

It is very important that you use the release notes and the CD-ROM that

ships with your specific system to install the Avid system software. The

release notes tell you how to install the Avid system software, and also

explain any last minute details relating to problems or new procedures that

you must follow during the installation of the Avid system software.

Installing Disk Controller Drivers

The Avid Product Recovery CD-ROM installs the device drivers

needed for the Avid supported disk controllers. If for any reason the

drivers are not installed properly, this section explains how to install

the drivers from the Avid application CD-ROM.

Install or check the device drivers for all installed disk controllers. The

drivers were shipped on the Avid application CD-ROM and on a

floppy disk with each controller ordered. You can use the driver on

the Avid application CD-ROM or the floppy disk. The example uses

the Avid application CD-ROM instead of the driver located on a

Windows 2000 CD-ROM. The installation procedures are for the

following disk controllers:

• ATTO Technology ExpressPCI UL3D/160 dual-channel —

Express driver

• Emulex LP850 Fibre Channel — LP6NDS35 driver

If you need to know the current version of a storage driver, call Avid

Customer Support.
