Safety Precautions; Installing The Mlan16E; Package Contents - Yamaha mLAN16E Mode D'emploi

Thank you for purchasing the Yamaha mLAN16E.
The mLAN16E is an expansion board that features an mLAN interface. mLAN is a digital
network designed for music and is based on the IEEE1394 high performance serial bus
and data communication protocol. mLAN makes it easy to construct sophisticated net-
works for IEEE1394 (FireWire/i.LINK) audio and MIDI signals without having to re-con-
figure the cabling, as was necessary in older, conventional systems.
The mLAN16E adds two mLAN connectors to an mLAN16E-compatible device, such as
the Yamaha MOTIF ES music production synthesizer.
In order to take full advantage of the mLAN16E's functionality, please read this manual
carefully. After reading this manual, please keep it available for future reference.
Before using the mLAN16E, be sure to read those sections in the owner's manual
for your mLAN16E-compatible device on "Precautions" and "Installing Optional
Hardware."
For information on installing the mLAN16E, refer to the section in the owner's
manual for your mLAN16E-compatible device on "Installing Optional Hardware."
