14 CD-ROM Instructions
Sharing the CD-ROM Drive On the Network
Sharing the CD-ROM Drive On the Network
Windows NT allows file and directory sharing over the network. If your Profile
systems are connected by an Ethernet network, you can install the CD-ROM drive
on one Profile system and then configure Windows NT to share the drive. In this
way, other Profile systems on the network can have access to the same CD-ROM
drive to perform software upgrades, such as Profile system software or
Windows NT operating system. Formore information onfile sharing, refer to your
Windows NT documentation or on-line help.
Upgrading Windows NT
The following sections contain information about using the CD-ROM drive to
upgrade the Windows NT operating system.
NOTE: If you are upgrading to Windows NT 4.0, you must upgrade
your Profile system software to version 2.0 or higher.
Upgrading Windows NT 3.50
The CD-ROM device driver software supplied with this kit is not supported by
Windows NT 3.50. However, the driver is supported by the Windows NT Setup
programs that come with WindowsNT 3.51and 4.0 upgrade packages. Touse the
CD-ROMin this way,boot your systemfrom the WindowsNT Setup floppy disks
that come with your upgrade package. When the setup program asks for the
CD-ROM driver, insert the NT Driver Diskette shipped with thus kit. For more
information, refer to the instructions in the Windows NT upgrade package
documentation that describe running Windows NT Setup from floppy disk.
Before you can attach the CD-ROM drive to your PDR100 system, youmay have
to install and enable the parallel port. Refer to the procedures in “Installing the
Parallel Port” on page 32. These proceduresdescribe how to install and enable the
parallel port on PDR100 systems with the 486 System CPU board. After the
parallel port is installed and enabled, the CD-ROM drive can be connected and
used to upgrade Windows NT 3.50.
CD-ROM Instructions 15
Introduction
Upgrading Windows NT 3.51
To upgrade Windows NT 3.51, you must first follow the procedures for installing
the CD-ROM drive on your Profile system using the existing operating system.
After the CD-ROM drive is installed, you can insert the Windows NT upgrade
CD-ROM and run Windows NT Setup. For more information, refer to the
instructions located in the Windows NT upgrade package documentation that
describe running Windows NT Setup from CD-ROM.
Installing Windows NT Service Packs
Youmust install the correct service pack and hotfix after upgradingyour Windows
NT operating system. The correct service pack and possible hotfix is specified in
the software releasenotes of the Profile system software you are using. Access the
Tektronix web site toview Profile System Software Release Notes orcontact your
Tektronix representative.The correct service packand hotfix are availabledirectly
from Microsoft.

General Installation Instructions
The Profile system can be configured when fully extended on the rack slides if the
equipment rack is adequately mounted to prevent tipping, and if there is sufficient
slack in the cables connected to the rear panel to allow the cabinet to fully extend
on the slides.
WARNING: Unless the equipment rack is adequately anchored, the rack
!
!
could tip when the cabinet is extended on the rack slides. To avoid possible
injury,makesure the rack isfirmlyanchored before extending thecabineton
the rack slides.
If it is necessary for you to remove the Profilesystem from the equipment rack to
perform this installation,refer to the system’sInstallation Manual for instructions.
CAUTION: The video disk recorder contains components that are highly
!
!
sensitive to electrostatic discharge. To protect these components from
damage and to maintain product reliability, take the following precautions
when handling the circuit boards:
• Handle all circuit boards in a static-protected area capable of controlling
static charge on conductive materials, people, and non-conductive
materials. Static-protected areas include non-static table tops and
non-static floor mats.
General Installation Instructions
• Handle circuit boards only by the edges.Avoid touching the printedwires
on the back of the circuit board as much as possible.

Use this procedure to configure the parallel port when the parallel port addresses
do not appear as they should in the “Checking the Parallel Port Status” procedure
on page 22.
In this version of hardware, the parallel port circuitry is located on the system
VGA-I/O board. The parallel port is configured by setting the configuration
switches on the VGA-I/O board. This procedure provides instructions for
removing the VGA-I/O board and checking the parallel port configuration
switches.
To check the VGA-I/O board switches:
1. Confirm that the Profile system power is switched off and the power cord is
removed.
2. Power down the CD-ROM drive and disconnect it from the Profile system.
3. Remove the top covers from the Profile system.
NOTE: In someunits the parallelportconfiguration switches maybe
visible without removing the VGA-I/O board from the unit. If you
have access to the switches without removing the VGA-I/Oboard, go
to step 7 and check the switch positions.

Determining the System CPU Board Hardware Version
You can determine the hardware version of your PDR100 by looking at the
PDR100 rear panel and observing the text displayed by the System CPU board
BIOS at power up, and then referring to Table 2.
To determine System CPU board hardware version:
1. Power On the SVGA Monitor connected to the PDR100.
2. Power On the PDR100, and then press the
first screen of text appears.
3. Compare your BIOS boot screen text and PDR100 rear panel to thoseshown in
Table 2 to determine your starting procedure.

PDR100 Installation
Installing the Parallel Port
This procedure describes howto install the parallel port on PDR 100 systems with
the 486 System CPU board. The parallel port will provide a 25-pin D-connector
for attaching the CD-ROM drive to the PDR100.
This procedure has three parts:
- Removing the Top Covers
- Verifying Switch Settings On the VGA-I/O Board (if installed)
- Installing the Parallel Port L-bracket
- Enabling the System CPU Board Parallel Port
Removing the Top Covers
To remove both chassis covers:
1. Confirm that the PDR100 power is switched off and the power cord is
removed.
2. Use the Torx tool with the T10 tip to remove the top screws from the front
chassis cover (➊ in Figure 6).
NOTE: Take carenot to losethese chassisscrews. Theyare requiredto meet
the EMI specifications for the PDR100.
3. Use the Torx tool with the T10 tip to remove the rear chassis cover
(➋in Figure 6) which covers the circuit boards.

page 29.)
To determine if a VGA-I/O Board is installed and to verify switch settings:
1. Compare yourPDR100 to Figure 7,which showsVGA boards withand without
a parallel port. Then do one of the following:
