General Workflow
The following procedure provides the general workflow for connecting, configuring and installing an
Autodesk
®
Visual Effects, Finishing, or Colour Grading application on a workstation.
To install a Visual Effects, Finishing, and Colour Grading application on a workstation:
1 Review the guidelines for working with hardware components. See Hardware Configuration Guidelines
on page 7.
2 Connect all peripherals (mouse, keyboard, Wacom
®
tablet, graphics monitor) to the proper ports, and
connect the workstation to the Autodesk Wire
®
network. See Workflow for Connecting Peripherals on
page 11.
3 Connect the workstation to external storage. See Connecting Storage on page 29.
NOTE If repurposing existing storage, it is highly recommended you back up or archive the media and
projects before connecting it to the new workstation. For more information, see the application’ s User Guide.
NOTE If you are installing or reinstalling the workstation’s Linux operating system, be sure to power-down
or disconnect any direct attached storage before booting from the Linux installation disk. If you do not, Linux
may attempt to reformat and install on the attached storage, destroying all stored media in the process.
