Group similar cards together (for example,
put all HD Accel cards next to each other).
Make sure the first card is a Core card.
HD Accel and HD Process cards cannot oc-
cupy the lowest-numbered slot.
Run DigiTest after making any changes to
your hardware setup (such as adding or re-
moving cards, audio interfaces, sync cables,
and so on) to verify that your system is
functioning properly. For DigiTest informa-
tion, refer to your Getting Started Guide.
