§ Digital Audio Option Upgrade
— Installation of the Digital Audio PCI board, disk drive, associated
cables and SCSI extension connector into the WSD/HD
Universal Format digital video disk recorder. Requires WSD/HD Main Software:
VERSION 2.00 .
OR HIGHER
Read this FIRST!
Installing the Digital Audio Option in the WSD/HD requires five separate procedures — make sure you perform all five, in the order
defined in this document:
Page 3 Procedure-1 Software Upgrade Installation
Page 3 Procedure-2 WSD/HD Operational Test
Page 4 Procedure-3 Hardware Upgrade Installation
Page 21 Procedure-4 Audio Driver Installation & Disk Formatting
Page 53 Procedure-5 WSD/HD Operational Test
The first procedure upgrades the operating software in the WSD/HD, which also installs new drivers for use by the new Digital Audio
option. The second procedure tests the WSD/HD to make sure the software was installed properly. The third procedure guides you
through the process of installing the hardware for the new Digital Audio Option. The fourth procedure guides you through the installation
of the software drivers necessary for digital audio, and the audio disk format procedure. The fifth and final procedure tests the WSD/HD
to make sure all components of the new hardware option was installed properly.
Background
This document describes the installation of the Digital Audio Option into the WSD/HD high-definition digital video disk recorder. This
option provides internal storage for the digital audio media. The digital audio subsystem features eight independent tracks of AES/EBU
digital audio, sampled at 48kHz with 24-bit resolution. Before installing the Digital Audio option in your WSD/HD, make sure Version 2.00
Software or higher is installed in the WSD/HD and all video formats are working satisfactorily. If this not the case, please refer to the
Version 2.00 Software installation document.
All hardware and software are forward and backward compatible, except for the video board microcode — you will need to down-rev the
microcode if the main software is down-revisioned. Refer to the Software Installation documentation.

¦ Procedure-1 Software Upgrade Installation
The WSD/HD must be upgraded to the latest version of software (Version 2.00 or greater) prior to the installation of the Digital Audio
Option. The software upgrade process loads new drivers into the WSD/HD that the new Digital Audio hardware requires. Without these
drivers, the digital audio option will not operate properly.
1. Follow the Software Upgrade Procedure, as detailed in the accompanying document:
A. Choose the correct software update procedure, depending on the software version currently running in your WSD/HD:
— If your current software is below version 1.30:
"Software Upgrade Procedure — From Version 1.01 to Version 2.00 or Higher"
— If your current software is above version 1.30:
"Software Upgrade Procedure — From Version 1.30 to Version 2.00 or Higher"
¦ Procedure-2 WSD/HD Operational Test
After upgrading to the latest software version in the WSD/HD, be sure to test the operation of the WSD/HD to make sure the software
upgrade was successful.
1. Reboot the WSD/HD
A. If you've not yet rebooted the WSD/HD after installing the new software, please do so now. The new software does not take
effect until after you've rebooted the WSD/HD.
B. After the WSD/HD has finished rebooting, launch Internet Explorer on the WSD/HD to start up the NetPanel user interface.
2. Record & Replay New Clips on the WSD/HD
A. Route valid SDI digital video input into both the HDTV and SDTV digital video inputs on the WSD/HD.
B. Connect monitor equipment to the ANALOG and DIGITAL video outputs of the WSD/HD.
C. Using the NetPanel user interface, create and record a new HDTV (high definition) clip that includes VIDEO only, with a
duration of at least 1 minute.
D. On the NetPanel user interface, recall the HDTV clip that was just recorded, and verify the video plays properly on both the
analog and digital video outputs.
E. Using the NetPanel user interface, create and record a new SDTV (standard definition) clip that includes VIDEO only, with a
duration of at least 1 minute.
F. On the NetPanel user interface, recall the SDTV clip that was just recorded, and verify the video plays properly on both the
analog and digital video outputs.

Hardware Upgrade — Installing Digital Audio PCI Board
1. Install the new Digital Audio PCI Board:
A. Carefully insert the new Digital Audio PCI board (P/N 9400-0920-01) into PCI slot #2 (second from left, as you view the
chassis rear panel). Be sure the far edge of the board (nearest the front of the chassis, as shown by the arrow in the left-hand
photo below) is fitted into the guide slot.
NOTE The PCI board label on the rear of the WSD/HD chassis will be changed later in this procedure. Do NOT install the
new Digital Audio PCI board into slot #1 — install it into slot #2!
B. Use one of the slotted screws from one of the removed filler panels to secure the top flange on this circuit board.
A

E. Fully remove the Monitor Video PCI board from the chassis, rotate it and rest it on top of the WSD/HD chassis, as shown in
the left-hand photo below. Locate connector J22 on the Monitor Video PCI board. It's shown circled in the left-hand photo
below.
F. ! IMPORTANT ! The black plastic guide on connector J22 might be installed backward on some Monitor Video PCI
boards. If the connector is installed as shown in the right-hand photo below, then you will need to carefully
pry the black plastic guide off from the connector, and turn it around. The correct orientation of the black
plastic guide is shown in photo G on the following page.
NOTE If you must turn around this black plastic guide, please do so carefully with a very small "tweaker" screwdriver —
being very careful not to break the vertical guide posts on the plastic guide. But if you do happen to break the vertical
guide posts, don't worry. The connector guide will still work fine, without a problem.
