X-HD card – User’s Guide
Digilink Connections
Like Digidesign interfaces, the X-HD card is equipped with two ports, Primary and Expansion.
Please note that the Primary Port on the X-HD card is the LEFT connector when looking from the
back of the unit.
The proper order to connect Apogee, Digidesign and Prism hardware interfaces may be determined
by locating the entry on pages 9-12 that corresponds to the set of interfaces you wish to connect.
When using Digidesign or Prism interfaces, please note that they must be connected first in the
Digilink chain.
Connect a Digilink cable from the HD Core, Process or Accel card to the Primary port on interface #1,
from interface #1’s Expansion port to interface #2’s Primary port, from interface #2’s Expansion port to
interface #3’s primary port, and so on until all interfaces are connected. Use only 18” Digilink cables
to make connections between hardware interfaces.
After all clock and Digilink connections have been made, ensure that all devices are locked to a valid
clock before booting the computer.
