Getting Started with Mbox 210
Installing Pro Tools LE and
Mbox 2
To install Pro Tools LE on Windows:
1 Make sure you have configured all the re-
quired Windows system settings, and restarted
your computer. See“Windows System Settings”
on page 7 for more information.
2 Start up Windows, logging in with Adminis-
trator privileges. If you do not have Administra-
tor privileges or do not know how to set them
up, see your Windows User’s Guide.
3 Connect the small end of the included USB ca-
ble to the USB port on Mbox 2.
4 Connect the other end of the USB cable to any
available USB port on your computer. Wait for
the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog to ap-
pear and leave it open: Do not click Next.
5 Insert the Pro Tools Installer CD-ROM for
Windows in your CD-ROM drive. Locate and
open the Pro Tools Installer folder, and double-
click the Setup icon.
6 Click Next to begin installation.
7 Select the components you want to install and
click Next.
8 Wait for the installer to finish installing all
software components, drivers, and PACE System
files before proceeding to the next step.
9 Click OK when prompted to install Quick-
Time. If required, you can install QuickTime
later (see “Installing QuickTime” on page 10).
10 Restart your computer.
MIDI Studio Setup
(Optional)
If you plan to use any MIDI devices with
Pro Tools, configure your MIDI setup with MIDI
Studio Setup. See Appendix B, “Configuring
Midi Studio Setup (Windows Only)” for details.
Installing QuickTime
(Optional)
QuickTime 6.5 or later is required for Pro Tools
if you plan to include movie files in your ses-
sions. QuickTime is available as a free download
from the Apple Web site (www.apple.com).
Mbox 2 may not function properly if con-
nected to a USB hub. If you need to use a
hub for other USB peripherals, connect the
hub to a separate USB port; Mbox 2 must
have a dedicated port in order to function
properly.
If you get a warning dialog about the driver
not passing Windows Logo testing, click
Continue Anyway.
If the USB LED on the front panel of the
Mbox 2 does not illuminate after installa-
tion, try unplugging the USB cable from the
Mbox 2 USB port, and plugging it back in.
If the USB LED still does not illuminate,
shut down the computer, disconnect
Mbox 2 and start the computer. Once the
computer has fully restarted, reconnect
Mbox 2.
