• When power is on and there is an electrical connection to the computer, the
UA logo glows blue (Figure 23).
Note: The Power Indicator displays the state of the electrical connections
only. It does not indicate when UAD driver communication is established (use
the UAD Meter to check driver communication status).
Hot Swapping Hot swapping is not supported. Hot swapping refers to the ability to discon-
nect the UAD ExpressCard while the notebook computer is active or sleeping,
and reconnect it at a later time without rebooting.
Note: For proper functionality, you must reboot the computer with the
Xpander connected every time the UAD ExpressCard has been removed.
Disconnect The UAD-Xpander can be disconnected when the notebook computer is active
or sleeping only if these two conditions are met:
1. 1. No host applications (including UAD Meter &Control Panel) are running.
2. 2. The ExpressCard is properly powered down by the operating system.
To disconnect the UAD-Xpander while the notebook is active:
1. Quit all UAD host applications, including the UAD Performance Meter.
This ensures that all UAD Powered Plug-Ins are inactive.
2. Power down the ExpressCard, using the following method as defined by
the operating system:
• (Windows) In the Windows Task Bar, click the Safely Remove Hardware
icon, and select “Safely remove Universal Audio UAD-1 DSP card”
(Figure 24 on page 107).
• (Macintosh) In the Menu Bar, click the ExpressCard status menu icon, and
select “Power off Card” (Figure 25 on page 107)
