Before Assembling the System
Before setting up your system, consult the Read Me First document or Release
Notes to make sure that there are no changes, additions, or deletions to the
procedures in this chapter.
The required expansion cards are installed and configured for Avid|DS. You
should not remove or modify these cards.
For detailed instructions on setting up the base unit hardware, refer to the
setup sheet provided with the Compaq W8000 system. For a rack mount
workstation, you must install the base unit into a standard rack before
connecting the hardware.
To prevent equipment damage that may be caused by static
electricity, do all of the following before making any connections:
• Turn the power switch off on all the devices.
• Wear an antistatic wrist strap.
• Connect all the devices to a grounded power source.
• Touch the metal casing of the device.
