Installing the New Mix Engine Card
To install the new Mix Engine card:
1
Remove the retaining bracket by loosening the thumbscrews
and lifting the bracket. Set the bracket aside.
2
Remove the new Mix Engine card from its packing material.
Hold the card by its edges.

Locate the open PCI slot closest to the currently installed Mix
Engine cards. Depending on your version of Mix Rack, this
slot is either directly
behind the two Mix Engine cards, or be-
tween the second Mix Engine card and the Hub 48 card.
4
Align the card with the corresponding cutout in the chassis and
press down on the left side of the card so that it makes contact
with the PCI slot.
5
Press down on the right side of the card to snap it in place in the
Mix Rack chassis.
6
Attach the card to the chassis with one of the provided mount-
ing screws.

Reattach the retaining bracket by sliding the tab under the
holder and tightening the thumbscrews.
