6 After checking card arrangement, DigiTest
checks card functionality. The Status box for
each tested card will indicate Passed or Failed.
7 If all the Digidesign cards pass, quit DigiTest
and restart your computer.
If any cards fail, you can review test details by
clicking the Info button for the corresponding
card and slot. Then quit DigiTest, turn off your
system, and reinstall your cards, verifying
proper card seating and TDM ribbon cable con-
nections.
If a card continues to fail DigiTest, contact
Digidesign Technical Support.
