Pro Tools | MTRX Installation Guide36
To install a MTRX MADI module:
1 Remove the two fasteners that secure the faceplate over the Optical I/O slot and remove the faceplate.
Set the screws aside (you will use them later to secure the card to the unit).
2 Remove the following 14 fasteners from the back panel of the MTRX. Keep the fasteners organized to
simplify reassembly.
• Use a 3/16-inch socket or similar sized open end wrench to remove the two pairs of cable anchors (4
total) from each AES/EBU DB-25 port (items
1–4 in the figure below).
• Use a small flathead screwdriver to remove the two pairs of cable anchors (4 total) that secure the
PHD I/O ports (items
7–10 in the figure below).
• Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the three pairs of fasteners (6 total) that secure the MADI,
WC/VBB, and AES11 ports (items
5–6, and 11–14 in the figure below).
Do not remove any PSU or analog card fasteners.

The MTRX MADI module has been modified since its original production to make it easier to install. If
you have a newer module, you do not need to remove the motherboard and you can skip steps 2 through
4, and steps 7 and 8. For more information, refer to this online video at:
