13. Hardware, Driver and Firmware Installation

13.1 Hardware and Driver Installation

After the Fireface has been connected to the computer and switched on install the drivers from
the RME Driver CD. The driver files are located in the folder \MADIface_USB and
\Thunderbolt. Installation works automatically by a double-click on the file Fireface USB.pkg
or RME Thunderbolt.pkg.
RME recommends downloading the latest driver version from the RME website. If done, the
procedure is as follows:
USB: A double-click onto driver_usb_mac.zip expands the archive file to Fireface USB.pkg.
Installation works automatically by a double-click on this file.
Thunderbolt: A double-click onto tb_x86.zip expands the archive file to RME Thunder-
bolt.pkg. Installation works automatically by a double-click on this file.
During driver installation the programs Totalmix (TotalMix FX) and Fireface USB Settings or
Thunderbolt Settings are copied to the Applications folder. They will automatically start into
the dock if a Fireface UFX+ is connected. A reboot of the computer is not required.
Driver Updates do not require to remove the existing drivers. Simply install the new driver over
the existing one.
