Testing the Expansion Chassis
After you install the Expansion Chassis and connect all the cables, you need to test
the chassis. Testing verifies that you have connected the Macintosh and the chassis
correctly, and that the NuBus cards in the chassis are installed correctly and visible
to the Macintosh. To test a populated Expansion Chassis:
1. Power on all the peripheral devices.
2. Power on the Expansion Chassis.
3. Power on the Macintosh.
▲
The Macintosh may not boot if any of the NuBus cards in the chassis are not
seated properly. For information on solving this problem, see “Populated Chassis
Problems” on page 74.
4. Open the Control Panels folder, then open the Monitors Control Panel.
5. Set Monitor 1 to “thousands” of colors to initialize the card.
6. Click the Identify button and confirm that the NuVista (Edit) monitor shows
the number 1 and the Macintosh (Bin) monitor shows the number 2.
7. Close the Monitors Control Panel window.
8. Open the Avid drive, then open the Utilities folder.
9. Double-click the Expansion View icon to run the application.
10. Choose Text Slot Information from the Expansion Chassis
menu.
The Text Slot Info window shows the slots numbers, the locations of the
slot, and the name of the NuBus card in the slot (see Figure 10 on page 17).
Make sure that all of the cards installed in the Macintosh and the Expansion
Chassis appear in the Slot Info column.
