MPEG Board Upgrade Installation
Introduction
NOTE: Profile system software version 2.4 or higher must be installed and
tested before you install any MPEG boards. For more information, see
“System Software Requirements” on page 2.
These instructions explain how to install MPEG circuit boards in an MPEG-ready
(Option MG) PDR200 Video File Server. Instructions are also included for
installing MPEG boards in a PDR200 that is not MPEG-ready. The MPEG field
kit comes with either of two boards, shown in Table 1.
In general, three configurations are possible when installing MPEG boards:
1. In an MPEG-ready Option MG PDR200 (serial number B030000 or above).
For instructions, see “Installing Boards in an Option MG Unit” on page 12.
2. In a non-Option MG unit (serial number B030000 or above). Refer to the
instructions in “Installing Boards in a non-Option MG Unit” on page 16.
3. In a early, non-MPEG ready unit (serial number B029999 or below). See
instructions under “Installing Boards in an Early PDR 200 Unit” on page 18.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you read these instructions
thoroughly before attempting any part of the installation. The installation
process takes from three to five hours.
