Open the Hardware Setup dialog to confirm
that the new card is recognized:

see a new tab called Analog In 1–8.
• If you installed a 96 DA card, you should
see a new tab called Analog Out 1–8.

If the new card does not appear in the Hard-
ware Setup dialog, power down, check the seat-

Troubleshooting
If the power ring does not turn from orange to
green when you boot the computer, make sure
you reconnected the DigiLink cable to the Pri-
mary port on the rear of the unit. If the DigiLink
cable is securely fastened and the other end is
plugged into an HD Core or Process card in a
computer that is booted, you may have inad-
vertently disconnected another 50-pin cable
when installing the card.
