2.Connecting the SCS.1

2.1Connecting to Your Computer

Step 1: Locate the included power cable and adapter (24V) and connect it to the

SCS.1d and to your power source. (Figure 2.1)

Note If you own both the SCS.1m and the SCS.1d, the power adapters look very similar. Looking at the output voltage will tell you which is for which component, (e.g., 12V for the SCS.1m, and 24V for the SCS.1d). There is also a label on each of the power cords to specify which product they are to be used with.

Step 2: Attach the included FireWire cable to the SCS.1d. The FireWire ports are clearly labeled on the back panel of the SCS.1d. (Figure 2.2)

Step 3: Download and run the DaRouter installer for the SCS.1d.

A dialog box will open telling you to connect your SCS.1d. At this point, turn the SCS.1d on and connect the FireWire cable to your computer’s FireWire port (Figure 2.3). Do not connect the SCS.1d until prompted.

Figure 2.3

On laptops, there are two different types of FireWire ports: 6 and 4 pin. Typically, you will find “full sized” 6 pin ports on Apple laptops. If your computer has a full sized (6 pin) FireWire port, use the included FireWire cable to connect directly from the SCS.1d to your computer.

Most PCs will have a 4 pin FireWire port. So if you have a 4 pin port on your computer, connect the FireWire cable to the provided 4 to 6 pin adapter, and then just plug it to your computer’s 4 pin FireWire port.

Now that power and FireWire are connected, we can explore hooking up the SCS.1d with the SCS.1m (if used).
