Checking the Kit Contents
Unpack and check the contents of the kit to ensure you have all necessary parts.
The kit contains:
•
An Expansion Chassis
•
An interface card, already installed in the Macintosh
•
An interface cable, attached to the chassis
•
A power cord

Testing the Macintosh
Before you connect the Macintosh to the Expansion Chassis, test the Macintosh to
make sure that it is functioning properly and that the interface card is properly
installed. To test the Macintosh and the interface card:
1. Make sure that the Macintosh and the Bin monitor are plugged into the same
power strip and that the power strip is plugged into a wall outlet and turned on.
2. Power on the Bin monitor.
3. Power on the Macintosh.
4. Open the Avid drive by double-clicking the drive icon.
5. Locate the Utilities folder and open it by double-clicking the folder icon.
6. Locate the Expansion View application icon and run it by double-clicking the
icon.
7. Choose About Expansion View from the Apple menu. Note the version of the
Expansion View software.
8. Choose Get Chassis ROM Information from the Expansion Chassis menu.
Make sure that the version that appears in the dialog box matches the version
listed in About Expansion View.
If the versions don’t match, you’ll need to update the interface card PROM
by choosing Upgrade Avid Chassis ROM from the Expansion Chassis
menu. After you upgrade the chassis ROM, reboot the Macintosh to load
the new driver.
