Mackie d.2 FireWire card installation, page 2 of 4
3. Gently remove the FireWire card from its protective
bag.
Important!
Do not touch the pins on the rear connec-
tor, or touch any of the exposed d.2 circuit boards or
components. This is in order to prevent damage due
to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
4. Inside the d.2, gently pull out the loose ribbon cable
and connector, just enough to connect it securely to
the rear connector on the end of the FireWire card.
5. Fit the card in place, with its large plate fl ush with
the bottom panel, and its FireWire connectors lined
up in the holes of the d.2 rear panel. Secure the bot-
tom plate in place using the four screws you took out
in step 2. Fit one other screw in the hole between the
two FireWire connectors. There will be one screw left
over to put under your bed.
6. Plug in the power cord and verify that the d.2 is still
working correctly. This completes the mechanical
installation, now its time for fun with computers.
Mac Installation
Connect a FireWire cable between the d.2 FireWire card and
your Mac computer, and it will recognize the card as a valid
audio device. Install Tracktion and have super fun and larks,
or use your favorite compatible playback and/or recording soft-
ware.
