BMB2 REV A KNOWN ISSUES:
1. Only the optical MADI port is supported at this time,
for a maximum of 40 in 64 out at 44.1k 48k, 32 in 32 out
at 88.2k 96k, 16 in 16 out at 176.4k 192k
2. Only the RME HDSPe card is supported at this time.
3. It is recommended that the RME HDSPe card be set
to “MADI IN” sync reference and the Mothership set to
“Int” all of the time, so that no word clock cable is nec-
essary. The Mothership may also be set to “Ext” when
syncing to a third clock reference. The Mothership will
sync to the HDSPe card, but this is not recommended for
optimal performance.

STEP 2 ATTACH POWER CABLE AND RIBBON CABLE TO FACEPLATE.
-The red wire should be closest to the orange power
connector for all faceplates.
-There are two revisions of faceplates. We added
a shrouded header to the faceplates and cards to
eliminate confusion. (See gures 4a-4d next page)
-Always make sure the orange 2 pin connector is
attached properly. Verify orientation.

OPTIONAL BP250 FAN CALIBRATION
You may adjust the thermostat for the fans of the BP250 if noise is an issue. To
adjust the thermostat, remove BP250 lid. Locate calibration pot and adjust as in
Figure 8.b, if desired. The BP250 is factory set to 1.2 VDC @ room temperature
across the black and red fan wires. Higher fan speeds will ensure longer lasting
electronics.
