NOTE
: Do NOT connect the FireWire Audiophile to your computer before you have run
the installer application and shut down your computer. If you are going to use bus power,
we recommend that you connect the FireWire cable before turning on the power button.
For the FireWire Audiophile to function properly, you need to have Service Pack 4
installed as well as Direct X 8.1 or higher. To install Service Pack 4, please consult
http://www.microsoft.com for instructions. The FireWire Audiophile driver installer will
detect if you have the proper version of Direct X installed or not. If you need to upgrade,
you will be prompted to do so. For further information, please consult Microsoft’s website.
During the course of installation, messages about the Microsoft Digital Signature for the
driver will appear. Microsoft tests drivers to ensure they work properly with their
operating systems. While driver signing makes installation and operation more
streamlined, it is not a necessity for a device to function properly with the operating
system. Currently, M-Audio’s FireWire drivers are not digitally signed. However, M-Audio
is committed to providing the best possible drivers for our products and we constantly
evaluate and test our drivers to ensure that they work properly. As a result, there is no
need to worry about the driver not being signed.
1 Insert the Driver CD-ROM into your computer’s CD-ROM drive. From the Start

drive, locate the “FireWire AP” folder, Then double click the FireWire Audiophile
installer from within that folder.
