Chapter 3: Installing and Conﬁguring the 96i 11

Checking Installation

This section explains how to quickly check that

your installation was successful.

To check installation using DigiTest:

1 Start up your computer (see “Powering Up

Your System” on page 10).

2 Launch DigiTest.

3 Ensure that any and all HD cards and HD I/Os

are identiﬁed properly. If not, see the Getting

Started with HD Guide.

4 When ﬁnished, quit DigiTest and restart.

To check or reconﬁgure I/O:

1 Launch Pro Tools and choose Setup > Hard-

ware Setup.

2 Use the Identify button to verify that your

newly-added 96i I/O has been properly identi-

ﬁed. Select each HD I/O in the Peripherals list,

and click on the Identify radio box in the lower

left corner of the Hardware Setup dialog to illu-

minate all of the LEDs on the front panel. This

will clearly demonstrate which HD I/O you

have selected in the Peripherals list.

3 If you encounter any difﬁculties, power down

the computer completely, and turn off all inter-

faces. Check all AC power, DigiLink, Loop Sync,

and audio connections. Then turn the power

back on all interfaces and boot the computer.

See “Powering Up Your System” on page 10 for

more information.

Audio Connections

The diagrams below provide suggestions for

connecting studio gear to your system. Figure 1

illustrates a setup without a mixer, where effects

processors and monitoring gear are connected

directly to the 96i I/O. Figure 2 illustrates a stu-

dio setup with the 96i I/O connected to a mix-

ing console, with effects and other gear routed

into the console as well.

The 96i I/O supports hardware inserts on

channels 1–2 only. Because this uses both

output channels, you should only use the

96i I/O for hardware inserts when another

HD-series I/O is present (otherwise you will

not be able to monitor your work when out-

puts 1–2 are in use for insert returns).
