Safety Boot Feature
Software updates may be made available for the IF-FW/DM MKII
through TASCAM’s web site (www.tascam.com
). When you use
these updates, removing the FireWire cable, or experiencing a
power glitch during the update procedure can leave the card in an
unusable state.
Don’t worry.
The IF-FW/DM
MKII contains a second copy of its operating
software that cannot be overwritten by any software updater
application. Each time the card is powered on (by turning on the
mixer), it will check to see if its software is correct. If it is not, the
CARD STATUS will stay at “Booting…” If this stays the same for
more than 30 seconds, use the following procedure to select the
Safety Boot feature
To select this safety boot feature, you first need to remove the card
from the mixer (turn off the power first).
According to the following picture, you will see a plastic connector
pushed onto a pair of upright pins. Next to the pins is the text
“NORMAL”. This is a jumper header, and this is just a place to
store it when it is not being used.
