Tascam IF-DM, IF-FW Installation

Installation

• 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 1-2 or SLOT 3-4 on 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.

• 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.
