 | If you purchased an Avid supported system, you do not need to install a 1394 board into the system. Your system has a built-in 1394 port. A second 1394 board is only necessary if you are planning to use FireWire drives at the same time as your editing equipment. |
| 1. | Test your system, as explained in Turning On Your Equipment. |
| 2. | Turn off your system. |
| 3. | Follow the instructions in the documentation that ships with your computer and install the supported 1394 board. The 1394 board can be either a PCI version or a PCMCIA version that is OHCI-compliant. At this time, there is no specific PCI slot assignment for the 1394 board in desktop computers. |
| If you have purchased one of the 1394 boards supported by Avid, a new driver for the board is installed with the Avidáediting software. |
