Installation

Installing the IF-FW/DM MKII

•DM-3200: The IF-FW/DM MKII must be installed in to mixer Slot 1. It will not function in Slot 2.

•DM-4800: The IF-FW/DM MKII must be installed in to either mixer Slot 1 or Slot 3. It will not function in Slot 2 or Slot 4.

•The following installation must be done with the mixer’s power OFF and disconnected.

1.Remove the five screws holding the blank plate or card currently installed in Slot 1 (or Slot 3 on the DM-4800) then remove the plate or card.

2.Insert the IF-FW/DM MKII into the slot, making sure that the card edges slide into the white plastic guide inside the Slot. Push it all the way in until it clicks and the card back plate is flush with the mixer’s back panel. Excessive force is not required – if it doesn’t click in easily, remove it and start again with attention to the guides.

3.Replace the five screws to hold the card in place.

4.Turn on the mixer and navigate to the DIGITAL screen (LCD access button 2 with blue ALT LED lit), then select the SLOT tab (labeled SLOT 1-2or SLOT 3-4on the DM-4800), and check that the card is being recognized. If it shows “No Card”, re-check that the card is inserted correctly and the screws are fully tightened.

Making Connections

•The maximum FireWire cable length is 3 meters.

1.Connect one end of the provided FireWire cable to the IF- FW/DM MKII and the other end to an available FireWire port on your computer. An inferior FireWire cable can negatively affect the performance of the system.

•Don’t connect the cable until the drivers have been installed.
