6. Hardware Installation
Before installing the
DIGI9636
, please make sure the computer is switched off and the
power cable is disconnected from the mains supply. Inserting or removing a PCI card while
the computer is in operation can cause irreparable damage to both motherboard and card!
1. Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from the computer.
2. Remove the computer's housing. Further information on how to do this can be obtained
from your computer´s instruction manual.
3. Important: Before removing the
DIGI9636
from its protective bag, discharge any static
in your body by touching the metal chassis of the PC.
4. Insert the
DIGI9636
firmly into a free PCI slot, press and fasten the screw.
5. Replace the computer's housing.
6. Reconnect all cables including the power cord.
7. Driver Installation
First fit the card (see 6. Hardware Installation), then switch on the computer and install the
drivers from the RME Driver CD. The driver files are located in the folder 'Hammerfall'.
In case a newer driver version was downloaded from the RME website double-click the
'm9652_x.sit' archive to decompress it into separate files (using 'Aladin Stuffit Expander').
If you already installed an older version of the driver first make sure to remove all old files.
To do so open the 'Extensions' folder which is inside your 'System' folder. Remove the file
'HAMMERFALL DRIVER'. Also remove 'HAMMERFALL SETTINGS' and/or 'RME DIGI
Settings' from the directory where it was copied to. Remove the 'HAMMERFALL ASIO' driver
file from any 'ASIO Drivers' folder.
Drag the new file
Hammerfall
Driver
to the System folder. It will
be installed automatically into the
'Extension' folder. Confirm the
system's message to complete
the installation. Now the driver file
should be found in the 'Extension'
folder, see example to the right.
Copy the new files
RME DIGI Settings
and
Hammerfall ASIO
into all 'ASIO Drivers' folders
found on your computer. As every ASIO software
has its own ASIO Drivers folder the files have to
be copied several times. The picture to the left
shows an example after installation of
Hammerfall and DIGI96.
