Schematics and parts are listed for each DAW setup in Appendix B, “DAW Parts Lists and Schematics.”
Connecting the MC
To connect the MC:
 Unpack the MC from its packaging and select a place to put it. The MC should go on a hard flat surface in order to allow proper
ventilation. (System 5-MC has its own frame for the MC and CM408T modules).
Use the following diagram as a guide to connecting the MC to its components.
1 VGA
2 Keyboard
3 USB
4 Talkback Mic Output
5 LAN
6 Footswitch
7 Headphone
8 DC In
 Plug the power supply into the DC In port on the right side as you look at the back panel. Be careful plugging this in as the con-
nector has pins that can be bent easily. When the pins are seated, twist the ring on the connector’s side until it locks. Do not turn
on the MC yet; network configuration must be completed first.
The MC and CM408T modules require sufficient ventilation space on the bottom. The MC has detachable feet for standalone
users without a System 5 frame, but the CM408T modules do not. If you do not use a System 5 frame, you must have at least
1 inch of clearance under the CM408T modules and MC or damage to the units may occur.

Attach the power supply to the MC before plugging it into an AC outlet, or the unit may be damaged.
