8. Locate the Gibson RIP, the power supply adapter included with your Dark Fire
guitar, and the FireWire cable. Plug one end of the FireWire cable into the
FireWire connector on the rear of the Gibson RIP. Attach the other end of the
FireWire cable to an open FireWire port on your computer.
9. Make sure you have selected the proper AC adapter plug that fits into the type of
wall socket used in your country, then connect the AC adapter to RIP. Plug in the
adapter, then turn your computer back on.
10.Windows will detect RIP, and install the software automatically. When the
process is complete, a “bubble” comes out of the Taskbar that says “Your
devices are ready to use.” This bubble will disappear automatically after a few
seconds.
Installation for Windows Vista is now complete. Proceed to Chapter 6, “Updating RIP
Firmware.”
