DVCPRO Board Installation
30 DVCPRO Upgrade Installation
Installing Boards in a non-Option DV Unit
A non-Option DV PDR200 (with serial number B030000 or above) already has
the Master EDR board in the correct slot J10 (see Table 3 on page 24), but the
Slave EDR board must be moved from J11 to J8. It is possible that you have an
analog composite or serial digital component I/O boards installed in slots J8. It is
also possible that you have a board in the slot required by the two-coded DVCPRO
CODEC board, slot J12. These boards must be moved to perform the upgrade.
To install DVCPRO boards in a non-Option DV PDR 200:
1. Remove the three-slotted PCI Interconnect board and remove all cables
connected to Profile boards, such as SCSI, Sharcnet, or audio clock cables
(look at Figure 9 on page 43 if you need help identifying the Sharcnet and
audio clock cables). Label each cable before removing it and draw a simple
diagram to make it easier to reconnect the cables later. Remove any cable tie
wraps, if necessary.
NOTE: Be certain to label the SCSI cables before removing them so that you
can reconnect them properly. If the A and C SCSI cables are reversed, the file
system will appear to be corrupted.
2. If there is a board installed in slot J8, remove the board. For complete
instructions on removing circuit boards, see “Removing Circuit Boards” on
page 32.
CAUTION: Forcing the board into the slot may result in bent connectors on
the mother board. Carefully follow the instructions in step 3 to avoid
damaging hardware.
3. Remove the Slave EDR board from slot J11 and install it in slot J8. To install
the board correctly:
- Align the board with the connectors on the motherboard. Make sure that
the board is in the board guide at the front edge.
- With the extractor on the front end of the board in the up position, press
down on the board firmly until it is seated.
- As you push the board into the connectors, you will feel the board engage
first one, then another set of contacts in the connector. The board is
properly seated when the top of the rear mounting bracket is resting on the
rear chassis wall shelf.
