Mix Rack FWx Card Installation
This section shows how to install an FWx card into a
Mix Rack. One FWx card can be installed in a Mix Rack. An
FWx card and an HDx card cannot be used simultaneously.
To install the FWx card in the Mix Rack:
1
Shut down your system.
2
Power down your Mix Rack.
3
Disconnect all power, audio, FOH Link, and any other cables
attached to the Mix Rack.
4
Remove the front panel faceplate by unscrewing its mount-
ing screws (#1 Phillips). Keep the screws nearby for remount-
ing the front panel later.
5
On the Mix Rack back panel, remove the top expansion slot
cover by unscrewing its mounting screws. Keep the screws
nearby in order to secure the FWx card to the Mix Rack.
6
Remove the FWx card from its packing material. Hold the
card by its edges.
For FOH Rack installation instructions, see “FOH Rack
FWx Card Installation” on page 3.

Although there are two expansion slots in which you can in-

that you install the card in the top expansion slot.
