order of turning on the system
when i studied editing in school years ago, i remember that there were steps to turning on the equipment that we HAD to fallow . I don’t exactly remember them by order but i guess it was something like: you turn on your deck first, then the monitor then the coputer monitors and then the computer itself!!!!
and i was wondering if there is still an order that should be taken to make sure that no harm happenes to the equipment
like I know also that you should never hook up the deck to the computer while its on -

With current equipment, there’s no ‘harm’ that can come from turning your gear on in the wrong order. The only problem is you might lose communication with the decks and/or the drives won’t show up on your desktop.
Drives/RAID & Decks, then Mac and then anything else. That’s pretty much the order.
Do the opposite shutting down. Drives last.
