Chapter 7: How to Proceed
After assembling the system and installing modules, use the instructions in this chapter to do all of the following:
• Start up the system for the first time to confirm power and Ethernet (see “Starting Up and Shutting Down” on page 63).
• Activate and Register your purchase, then download and install any available updates (see “Activate and Register” on page 63).
• Add the final hardware components to finish the frame (see “Complete the Hardware Assembly” on page 64).
• Update S6 system software and supporting software (see “Updating S6 System Software” on page 67).
Starting Up and Shutting Down
Follow these instructions when starting up S6 for the first time.
Starting Up for the First Time
To start up the system for the first time:
1 Make sure the system is not connected to any external workstations, router, switch, or other network device.
2 Turn on power to the S6 power strip from its power source (UPS, power conditioner, or other).
3 Check all Link LEDs on the Ethernet switch(es) and make sure they are all indicating communication. If not, make sure cables
are fully connected into their sockets.
4 The Touchscreen displays S6 Master Module startup screens.
5 Follow the on-screen instructions to Shut Down.
6 Use a personal computer to go on-line to Activate and Register, then download important software and updates and follow their
included instructions (see “Activate and Register” on page 63).
Shutting Down
To shut down:
1 On the Touchscreen, touch Shut Down. If necessary, navigate the Touchscreen to the About page and touch Shut Down.
2 Turn off power at the source device supplying power to the S6 Power Strip (UPS, power conditioner or other).
Activate and Register
Before continuing, review the Activation Card and Registration Information Card (included in the pouch at the front of this S6 In-
stallation Guide binder). Use a separate computer and follow the instructions to activate your Avid Master Account (required) and
register your purchase (optional, but highly recommended).
For complete instructions, see “Updating S6 System Software” on page 67.
Always shut down the Master Module before powering down the system!
Activate your purchase using the enclosed S6 Activation card so you can receive software updates directly in your Avid Master
Account. Check your Avid account for updates immediately after configuring your surface.
