Mona card to the computer’s rear panel.

On some older 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-plate of the card to the Mac.

The back-plate is the thin piece of metal connected to the Mona card that

sits against the case of your computer. Another option, if that piece needs

a little more play, is to 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.

Attach Esync cable.

OPTIONAL:

If you don’t have a Darla24 or

Gina24, you can skip this step.

If you also have a Darla24 or Gina24, this

would be a good time to attach an Esync cable to the Mona PCI card.

Esync is a proprietary form of super clock that allows you to sync

together multiple 24-bit Echo products. Esync cables come with Darla24

and Gina24, and can be used to daisy chain several 24-bit Echo cards

together. Simply attach the Esync cable to the two prong “Esync Out”

connector on the Mona PCI card, and attach the other end to the “Esync

In” connector on your Darla24 or Gina24 PCI card.

Replace the computer’s cover and secure it.

Please refer to your

Macintosh manual for instructions. Reattach its power supply cord and

reconnect any peripherals that you may have removed prior to beginning

the Mona installation.

Locate the Mona rack-mount interface and the 9-pin interface cable.

Securely mount the interface into your equipment rack. If you will not be

mounting the box in a rack, remove the backing from the four rubber feet

and place one in each bottom corner of the interface unit. Then be sure to

locate the rack-mount box in a secure location.

Plug one end of the cable into the 9-pin connector on the Mona card that

now protrudes through the back panel of your computer, and secure the

cable using the built-in screws located on both sides of the connector.

Attach the other end of the cable to the rear of the interface and fasten the

cable securely with the screws. Plug the power cord firmly into the

interface and a power socket, but do not turn on the interface at this time.
