Installing Memory, the Avid Board Set, and the Fan Kit
Installing the Meridien Display Controller Board
The Meridien display controller board is a standard dual-head
graphics adapter with a special DMA pixel engine required for Avid
applications.
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. Installing the correct software is explained in
“Installing the Display Controller Board Driver” on page 7-7.
c
Remove the AGP graphics board from the system before installing
the Meridien display controller board.
1. Check the metal PCI bracket on the Meridien display controller
board before you install it because you need to know which
Meridien display controller board you have when you install the
driver in “Installing the Display Controller Board Driver” on
page 7-7.
2. Install and secure the display controller board into the PCI slot
recommended in Table 4-1 on page 4-5.
3. Attach one end of the cable (explained in “Installing the Meridien
II Digital Media Board Set” on page 4-13) to the display controller
board cable header (see Figure 4-9), and the other end to the
Meridien digital media board set. Each end of the cable is keyed to
facilitate proper installation.
c
Be careful to properly align the cable ends into the connectors, and
do not force the connections.
