Appendix A: Day to Day Powering Up and Down
Use the following instructions to power the system up and down for regular, day-to-day start up and shut down. Only use these ab-
breviated steps after the system(s) have been connected and configured, and all components have been confirmed.
Powering Up the System
Power up the system in the following sequence:
1 If more than one system is connected for I/O Sharing, do the following steps for the Clock Master system first.
2 If applicable, power on routers for use with ECx remote control.
3 Power on any connected computers for recording/playback.
4 Power on the control surface video monitor.
5 Power on the E6L engine by pressing the power switch on the back to the on (1) position.
Wait until the front panel Status LED lights green and the System LED begins flashing amber.
6 Power on the S6L control surface by pressing the power switch on the back panel to the on (1) position.
If you are powering up the system for the first time, or the S6L control surface is connected to a different E6L engine than it was
previously connected to, the Please Select Engine screen appears on the MTS when initialization is complete. If this occurs, see
Please Select Engine.
7 Power on the first Stage I/O unit (such as Stage 64) by pressing the power switch to the On position for the PSU that is plugged
into an AC power source. If both PSUs are connected for redundancy, power-on both PSUs. The power switch(es) lights green.
On the front panel of the Stage 64 the
Status LED lights green, the AVID logo appears while the device initializes. When ini-
tialization is complete, the Controller Menu
HOME page is shown.
8 Power on any other Stage I/O units in the system.
9 If more than one system is connected for I/O Sharing, repeat the preceding steps for the Clock Slave system.
Powering Down the System
Power down the system in the following sequence:
1 Turn off the audio monitoring system.
2 Turn off any connected computers for recording/playback.
3 Put the system into Config mode (see Enabling Config Mode), then on the external VENUE software screen go to the Options
page and select the System tab.
4 Select Shut Down, then select Shut Down again to confirm.
5 When the MTS and the external screen go black, power off the S6L control surface using the back-panel power switch.
6 On the front panel of the E6L engine, once the Status LED is unlit and the System LED is lit amber you can power off the E6L
using the back-panel power switch.
7 Power off any connected Stage I/O units.
Make sure no VGA monitor, mouse, keyboard, or internet is connected to the E6L engine before powering up your S6L system.
If the E6L engine has not fully initialized by the time the S6L control surface has initialized, “Waiting for the E6L Engine to
start...” appears in the MTS until the E6L finishes initializing.
