AC POWER AND UPS EQUIPMENT

All consoles require 120 or 230 Vac (47 to 63 Hz) power sources. As a minimum, each outlet should be circuit-breaker protected per local building codes.

UPS protection is optional. Maximum required UPS wattage rating for a single console system should be based on the required maximum sums of the Audio Tower (200 watts max.), the PC's computer (per manufacturer's specifications) and thePC's video display monitor (per manufacturer's specifications).

POWER-UP PROCEDURE

The following C3 Maestro power-up procedure is recommended:

1.If the PC and/or monitor are equipped with a voltage selector switch, verify the switches are positioned correctly. The power supply within the Audio Tower automatically switches itself and therefore no voltage selection switch exists.

2.Verify all power switches are in the off position.

3.Connect the PC, video display monitor and the Audio Tower to a 120 or 230 Vac source. Some computers are equipped with a receptacle on their rear panel for the monitor's ac power connection. Refer to the PC and monitor documentation as necessary. Extension cords should not be used with the C3 Maestro console system.

4.Verify all equipment is properly grounded.

5.Power-up the Audio Tower.

6.Power-up the PC and its monitor.

7.Continue with the software installation and set-up procedures that follow.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION AND

SET-UP PROCEDURE

IMPORTANT NOTE

Unless otherwise noted, all procedures in this manual should be performed in the order presented.

PC CMOS SET-UP PROGRAM

C3 Maestro software is factory-installed on the PC's hard disk drive and the software is configured properly for standard installations. Therefore, during a typical console configuration, the information in this section may be bypassed.

All PCs used with the C3 Maestro store start-up configurations in CMOS memory. This information is read by the computer's BIOS and it may be changed by executing a set-up program during the PC's boot process. Execute the PC's set-up program only if a built-in (main board) COM1 port must be disabled/enabled or if documentation included with the PC deems it necessary for some other reason.

NOTE

Time and date will be correctly set by the CEC/IMC Manager (MOM PC) when the console is on-line with the CEC/IMC.

Hewlett-Packard Vectra 25N & 486SX/25

Typically, the set-up program is started by pressing <F2> when prompted with "For Setup press F2 now" during the boot process. COM1 is disabled by setting "Serial Ports/Port A" to "Off". An HP 486SX/25 computer should also have its "Serial Port B" set to "COM2 2F8H INT3". Be sure to save the change(s) before rebooting/resetting (typically via pressing <F3>).

Data General Dasher 386SX

This PC's set-up program is started by pressing <Ctrl><Alt><Ins> during the boot process. There is no need to disable COM1 since the built-in port supports both RS-422 and RS-232.

Experience has shown these computers can lose their CMOS settings on rare occasions during power-ups. Therefore, the following configuration information is presented:

Hard Disk 1: Type 17

Base Memory: 640 KB

Extended Memory: 1408 MB

Board Memory: 640 KB

Memory Relocation: Enabled

The Logic Board will not function properly if the "Memory Relocation" setting is disabled.
