Installing the AudioFire Hardware and Software

Now that you have logged in as an administrator, checked the OS X version, and

updated your software, you are ready to install your AudioFire product in your

computer.

1. Install the AudioFire Console. Insert the AudioFire Install CD-ROM into your

machine. Simply drag the AudioFire Console to your Applications folder or

whatever folder you prefer.

2. Once you have installed the console, locate the AudioFire interface box, the

power cable, and the FireWire cable. If you are installing an AudioFire 8,

AudioFire Pre8 or AudioFire 12, securely mount the interface into your

equipment rack. If you will not be mounting the box in a rack, then be sure to

place the interface box in a secure location.

3. If you have AudioFire 8, AudioFire Pre8 or AudioFire 12, plug the power

cable firmly into the interface and a power socket, and then turn on the

interface by pressing the power button. If you have AudioFire 2 or AudioFire 4

your AudioFire can be powered directly through FireWire. No external power

supply is needed. The DC adapter is included for users of Windows notebook

computers that have only an unpowered, 4-pin FireWire connector.

4. Plug one end of the FireWire cable into the FireWire connector on the rear of

the AudioFire interface. Attach the other end of the FireWire cable to an open

FireWire port on your computer. (If the connector does not match the port on

your computer then you will need to get an adapter.)

5. Your Mac will automatically recognize your new AudioFire product without

any fanfare. See the “Software Configuration” section below for more info.
