Secure card to computer.

If there was one, use the screw removed

earlier from the protective backplate to attach the metal bracket at the

back of the Darla card to the computer’s rear panel. On many Macs the

locking mechanisms used to hold down the PCI cards cause difficulties

properly seating the cards. We recommend checking the card and

making sure it is well seated and liable to stay that way. If the card is

loose or being pushed around by the locking Mechanism, we recommend

loosening the hex screws that hold the back-plane of the card to the Mac,

that thin metal piece that sits against the case of your computer. Another

option, if that piece needs a little more play, gently bend it back. Some

users have broken the plastic that comes with their Mac to solve this

problem. However, due to Mac warranty issues, we are not able to

recommend this approach.

Replace the computer’s cover and secure it.

Please refer to your Mac

manual for instructions. Reattach its power supply cord and reconnect any

peripherals that you may have removed prior to beginning the Darla

installation.

Locate the Darla audio breakout box.

Align the box with the connector

on the Darla card that now protrudes through the back panel of your

computer, being certain that the breakout box is properly oriented (the two

red connectors toward the top of the card). Plug the box into the Darla

card, and secure the box using the built-in screws located on both sides of

the connector.

You can now attach external audio devices to the breakout box.

Darla

can accommodate two analog input signals and can generate eight

independent analog output signals.

All of the analog inputs and outputs on Darla are simultaneously active,

allowing you to record up to two channels of audio while playing back eight

channels.
