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 1-2 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.
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.
