Do one of the following depending on your configuration:
• If your Mix Rack has a ribbon cable with 

three

 connectors 

(the Clock Source Jumper cable) connecting the ports la-
beled “Snake” on the first and second Mix Engine cards to 
the port labelled “P1 Mix Engine” on the Hub 48 card (see 
Figure 12), disconnect this cable from both Mix Engine 
cards. Do 

not

 disconnect this cable from the Hub 48 card.

– or –
• If your Mix Rack has a standard dual-connector ribbon ca-

ble connecting the port labeled “Snake” on the first (inner-
most) Mix Engine card to the port labeled “P1 Mix Engine” 
on the Hub 48 card (see Figure 13), disconnect this cable 
from the Mix Engine card. Do 

not

 disconnect the cable 

from the Hub 48 card.

7

Disconnect the ribbon cable from the port labeled “FOHA” on 
the first (innermost) Mix Engine card. This cable connects the 
main IO card to the first Mix Engine card.

8

If any ribbon cables are attached to the ports labelled 
“FireWire” (located to the right of the “FOHA” ports) on ei-
ther or both Mix Engine cards, disconnect them, noting their 
location. These cables are connected to any installed VENUE 
record/playback option cards and/or the Ethernet Snake card. 
In most cases there is only one cable present, and it is attached 
to the first (innermost) Mix Engine card.
