IBM 6866 System
Having read Chapter 2, you should now understand the type of
IBM 6866 system that you ordered and the board sets that go with
each system. You must now check the IBM 6866 system to make sure it

As you boot the system for the first time, you are asked to complete the system

questions as if you were the customer, but remember that you will be
replacing the Windows 2000 operating system when you use the Avid Setup
and Product Recovery CD-ROM in later chapters.

system can be used more than once.
