Installing the FLEX-5000A
Note: This section is only relevant for the FLEX-5000A. If you own a
FLEX-5000C, please see Installing the FLEX-5000C on page 14.
Switch Off the FLEX-5000A and Install the FireWire Driver
Note 1: To install the FLEX-5000 FireWire Driver, you must at least connect the
FLEX-5000A to a 13.8VDC power supply and an IEEE 1394 FireWire
computer port.
Note 2: 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.
WARNING! 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.
Download the FLEX-5000 FireWire Driver at http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?id=165 or
from the downloads page (http://support.flex-radio.com/Downloads.aspx?fr=1) of our website and
save the zip file to a convenient location on your computer. Then go to the saved zip file and extract its
contents.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure the power switch on the FLEX-5000A is turned
off (blue LED is off, see Figure 1 on page 4). It is also a good idea to close all other applications.
Double click on the extracted driver installation file to open the FLEX-5000 Setup Wizard (Figure 5).
