Using the Grounding Wrist-Strap
Your Avid system ships with a reusable grounding wrist-strap. To prevent any dam-
age to the Macintosh, the Expansion Chassis, or the interface card, you must wear
the wrist-strap when handling the cards or connecting cables.

Put on the grounding wrist-strap now before you handle any cards or connect the
interface cable to the interface card. Make sure that you do not take off the wrist-
strap until you have completed all the procedures in this chapter.
Connecting the Interface Cable and Lock
The interface cable connects the Macintosh to the Expansion Chassis. The cable
lock holds the Expansion Chassis interface card and cable together, ensuring that
the cable attaches properly to the interface card. To connect the interface cable and
lock:
1. Locate the two notches or indentations on the interface cable connector. Line
these up with the notches in the connector on the interface card.
2. Guide the interface cable through the bottom opening in the back of the
Macintosh.

3. Securely connect the interface cable to the connector on the interface card. Be
careful to avoid damaging the connectors on the interface card or interface
cable by forcing the connection.
