WARNING!

F5K-M2.0/4

This chapter is relevant for a new FLEX-5000A installation. The FLEX-

5000C comes pre-installed with the latest version of the software at

the time of shipping. However, should you own a FLEX-5000C and

need to re-install or replace the software (with a later version), you

will need to follow the procedures outlined in this chapter.

To install the software, you must at least connect the FLEX-5000A to a

13.8 VDC power supply and an IEEE 1394 FireWire computer port.

If there is a (Edirol FA-66 or Presonus Firebox) sound card connected

to the same FireWire host controller you are planning to use with the

FLEX-5000A, disconnect it until the installation is complete and the

FLEX-5000A is fully operational.

It has been reported that data corruption occurred when

trying to use a FireWire hard disk. We do not recommend that

you have a FireWire hard disk connected to the same FireWire

controller (bus) as the FLEX-5000. Both of these devices use

the FireWire bus extensively and performance of both will be

degraded significantly.

Also, do not connect both a FLEX-3000 and a FLEX-5000 to the

same computer. The drivers cannot differentiate between the

two and erratic behavior may occur.
