There are six steps that you must follow to use the 48-bit LBA system:
1. Install the 2.2 version (or later) of the software on to the Deployment
PC.
2. Deploy the application’s TAR files to the Frame processor.
3. Format and partition the hard disks.
4. Un-mount and then mount the formatted hard disk
5. Re-deploy the application’s TAR files to the Frame processor.
6. Reactivate the preferred Configuration file.
Each of these steps is described in detail below.
CAUTION Grass Valley recommends that you have a back up of the data on the Deploy-
ment PC before you format your hard disks on the Maestro frame. You will
also need to allow sufficient time to re-cache the media from the Deployment
PC.
