Serial Digital I/O Upgrade Installation 1
Serial Digital I/O Upgrade Installation
Introduction
These instructions explain how to install the new serial digital I/O board in a
PDR100 Video Disk Recorder or a PDR200 Video File Server. The latest boards
have Sharcnet connectors so that embedded audio can be routed to and from the
Audio Signal Processing Board (ASPB). These instructions also assume that you
have already installed a slave disk recorder board field upgrade. The slave board
converts a two-channel Profile system into a four-channel system.
NOTE: Embedded audio does not work with the Analog Audio I/O boards that
came standard with the PDR 100. You must install an ASPB in a PDR 100 to
use embedded audio.
The instructions include procedures for:
• Opening the Profile chassis.
• Moving existing boards, if necessary, to make room for the new board.
• Installing the new board.
• Closing the Profile chassis.
• Verifying that the installed board is functioning correctly.
System Requirements
The Profile system software installed in the Profile system must be version 2.1 or
higher. To check the software version installed in your Profile system, open the
VrdPanel application and choose
Help | About VdrPanel . The software version is
listed in the Product Version field in the displayed window.
