Mackie Digital X Bus
Software Installation Procedure
These instructions outline procedures for downloading the Digital X Bus software updates
from the Mackie website via a desktop computer internet connection, and transferring the in-
staller to compatible media for installation on the Digital X Bus.
USB Flash/Pen Drive Method (recommended)
***Requires a USB Flash/Pen drive***
1.
Download the Software update from www.mackie.com to your local hard drive.
2.
Insert a USB Flash Drive into your computer. Make sure that Windows identifies the Flash
Drive as a "USB Mass Storage Device" in the pop-up balloon message from the System
Tray.
3.
Right-click on the downloaded file and select "Extract All" from the pop-up menu; this will
launch the Windows Compressed Folders Extraction Wizard (say that ten times fast).
4.
Click "Next."
5.
Click "Browse" and point the directory at the root level of the Flash Drive (usually marked
with an "E:/" or an "F:/" designation). Click "OK."
6.
Click "Next" to start the Extraction. Once that is completed, click "Finish."
7.
Remove the Flash Drive from your computer and insert it into one of the available USB
ports on your Digital X Bus.
8.
Select "Install Packages" from the File Menu on the Digital X Bus.
9.
Select the new Digital X Bus build from the list and select "Run Installer." Select "OK"
when asked to shut down the Digital X Bus application in order to run the Installer.
10.
Once you are back to the main mixer screen, re-select the "Install Packages" from the File
Menu.
11.
If there is a "System Update" file in the list and the Status column reads "Needs Update,"
then highlight the "System Update" file and select "Install." But if the Status column reads
"Up to Date," then move on to Step #13.
