Installing Pro Tools LE
After the Apple System software settings are con-
figured, you are ready to install Pro Tools LE.
To install Pro Tools LE on Mac OS X:
1 Make sure you are logged in as an Administra-
tor for the account where you want to install
Pro Tools. For details on Administrator privi-
leges in Mac OS X, refer to your Apple Mac OS X
documentation.
2 Insert the Pro Tools LE Installer CD-ROM in
your CD-ROM drive. Double-click “Install
Pro Tools LE.”
3 Enter your Administrator password and click
OK to authenticate the installation.
4 Follow the on-screen instructions to continue
and accept installation.
5 In the Installer window, make sure the Install
Location is on your Startup hard drive.
6 In the Installer window, choose Custom In-
stall from the pop-up menu, and click Install.
7 Follow the remaining on-screen instructions
to install Pro Tools and options. (See also “Op-
tional Software on the Pro Tools Installer CD-
ROM” on page 19.)

Connecting Mbox 2 to the
Computer
Before launching Pro Tools LE software, con-
nect Mbox 2 to your computer.
To connect Mbox 2 to your computer:
1 Connect the small end of the included USB ca-
ble to the USB port on Mbox 2.
2 With your computer on, connect the other
end of the USB cable to any available USB port
on your computer.
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.
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 be
connected to a dedicated port on the com-
puter in order to function properly.
