Installation under Mac OS X2.3
With the Mac OS X, you can use the FCA202 immediately,
without having to install additional drivers. Connect the
hardware to your Mac via an unused FireWire socket.
OS X (from version 10.3.9) will automatically recognize the
equipment. The inputs and outputs on the interface are now
available to you in every audio application.
Hardware connection2.4
Connect the FCA202 to your computer using one of the
two FireWire cables provided. Some computers have 6-pin
sockets which allow the power supply for the FireWire
hardware to be made directly via the bus, while others offer
reduced 4-pin sockets. Depending on the arrangement,
there are various ways in which you can operate
your FCA202.
Operation without a mains adapter on a computer •
with a 6-pin socket
This is a typical setup for most computers, which can
provide adequate power supply for the FCA202 via the
FireWire interface. Use the appropriate cable with the
6-pin plug connectors. If your computer cannot ensure
an adequate power supply, use the mains adapter that
is provided.
Operation with a mains adapter on a computer •
with a 6-pin socket
Use the appropriate cable that includes two 6-pin plug
connectors. In this case, the FCA202 will be provided
with current via the mains adapter. This option is
suggested if you have a laptop with a 6-pin socket but
don’t want to add another burden on the computer
battery when running the computer from the battery,
or if your computer cannot provide enough power to
operate the FCA202.
Operation with a mains adapter on a computer •
with a 4-pin socket
This is the typical setup for most laptop computers.
Use the appropriate cable that includes a 6-pin and a
4-pin plug connector. In this case, you will have to use
the mains adapter provided to supply the power to
the FCA202.
