Hi! I just picked up an M-Audio Firewire 410 for my Macbook Pro 2.33 C2D 2Gb and so far it has not given me any problems. I am however, a bit confused on how to properly power it up/down and what to do when I put the MBP to sleep. I don't want to fry my firewire ports on either unit.
So what's the proper way of powering down the 410 when going in to sleep mode? For now I first close the lid, wait for the sleep light, then hit the power on the 410. It would be really be annoying if I had to shut down the MBP each time I wanted to power down the 410 but if it meant protecting my gear I guess I'd have no choice. I'd also like to know the proper way of powering it up when the MBP is in sleep mode. Do I power up the 410 then wake the computer?
Any other 410 users out there who can help?
