DVCPRO Board Installation
32 DVCPRO Upgrade Installation
Installing Boards in an Early PDR200 Unit
If you have an early PDR200 (serial number B029999 or below), you can install
DVCPRO boards by following this procedure. It may be necessary to remove
some or all of the boards in slots J5 through J15 in order to follow the
recommendations for DVCPRO installation. In doing so, you may lose some slots
otherwise used for video I/O boards. To reinstall EDR and Fibre Channel boards,
follow the slot order shown in Table 3 on page 24. Table 3 also shows where the
DVCPRO boards must go.
For further guidance on board placement, refer to “Board Location Guide” on
page 53. Follow the instructions under “Selecting a Board Location” on page 56.
Also, it will be helpful to make a copy of Table 9 on page 55 to chart the placement
of boards in their proper slots.
Removing Circuit Boards
Use the following procedure to remove one or more circuit boards—as many as
necessary—from the motherboard, in order to make room installing DVCPRO
boards:
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.
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.
