Since Max Air has been designed for live, on-air applications, the system is designed
to tolerate variations in the startup sequence. The system will boot properly if power is
applied to all components simultaneously. If this occurs, be sure to check that all com-
ponents are properly locked to a valid master digital sync source.
To restart the system:
Shutdown the System PC with the 1. Shutdown button in the About View.
Reset the CM404 and CM416 surface modules.2.
Power off the DF66 core.3.
Power on the System PC.4.
Since this takes the longest to boot, power it up rst.
Power on the DF66.5.
The DF66 must be off for 5 s before powering back on to discharge the PSUs.
The system will boot the rest of the way by itself.6.
