Installing Optional Disk Controller Drivers
Installing the Display Controller Board Driver
Although the disk image has already installed a display controller
board driver, you should install the Avid display controller driver
using the following procedure, and then reboot the system when
instructed. This ensures that you have the latest driver available.
c
Avid now ships a new Meridien display controller board, EDC4. The
new display controller board has EDC4 labeled on the top of the
metal PCI bracket (see Figure 4-9). You can see the metal PCI bracket
externally at the rear of the system. The previous display controller
boards have no label and need a different driver than the EDC4.
Drivers for the EDC4 and other display controller boards ship with
the Avid software.
