Detailed Description
CARD Status
This can display one of the following:
“OK”, “OK (Backup)”, “Not Ready” or “Booting …”
OKThe IF-FW/DM MKII is running.
OK (Backup) The IF-FW/DM MKII is running from its safety boot feature. This can occur when a firmware update to the IF-FW/DM MKII has failed and you select the safety boot feature as described in the Appendix. In this case, the update should be attempted again.
Not Ready The IF-FW/DM MKII is partly running and will be ready shortly.
Booting … The IF-FW/DM MKII is starting up after a software change or power cycle, it should take only a few seconds to finish. If the card status remains on this setting for a long time, e.g. over a minute, first try turning off the power to the mixer and checking again, then go to the section on “Safety Software Backup” to select the permanent backup software image that is stored in the IF-FW/DM MKII.
