6. Hardware Installation

Before installing the DIGI9652, please make sure the computer is switched off and the

power cable is disconnected from the mains supply. Inserting or removing a PCI card while

the computer is in operation can cause irreparable damage to both motherboard and card!

1. Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from the computer.

2. Remove the computer's housing. Further information on how to do this can be obtained

from your computer´s instruction manual.

3. Important: Before removing the DIGI9652 from its protective bag, discharge any static

in your body by touching the metal chassis of the PC.

4. Connect the DIGI9652 card with the Expansion Board using the supplied flat ribbon

cable. Note: The connectors on the cable cannot be plugged in the wrong way round.

5. Insert the DIGI9652 firmly into a free PCI slot, press and fasten the screw.

6. Insert the Expansion Board and fasten the screw.

7. Replace the computer's housing.

8. Reconnect all cables including the power cord.

Note: If neither word clock nor a third ADAT I/O is required, it is not necessary to install the

Expansion Board at all (i.e. leave out steps 4 and 6).

First fit the card (see 6. Hardware Installation), then switch on the computer and install the

drivers from the RME Driver CD. The driver files are located in the folder 'Hammerfall'.

In case a newer driver version was downloaded from the RME website double-click the

'm9652_x.sit' archive to decompress it into separate files (using 'Aladin Stuffit Expander').

If you already installed an older version of the driver first make sure to remove all old files.

To do so open the 'Extensions' folder which is inside your 'System' folder. Remove the file

'HAMMERFALL DRIVER'. Also remove 'HAMMERFALL SETTINGS' and/or 'RME DIGI

Settings' from the directory where it was copied to. Remove the 'HAMMERFALL ASIO' driver

file from any 'ASIO Drivers' folder.

Drag the new file Hammerfall

Driver to the System folder. It will

be installed automatically into the

'Extension' folder. Confirm the

system's message to complete

the installation. Now the driver file

should be found in the 'Extension'

folder, see example to the right.
