what do you want to know exactly?

I would say:

-wire the servo42D and 57D ( wiring with the included wire/ driver adapter)

for both servo motors the same, they have the same small display and menu:

go to menu, press calibrate. machine must be free so the motor can make 1 turn in each direction.
all settings as current (mA) are fine out of the box for the mks servo motors IMO
install to your machine
test drive carfully
check directions, you can change Servo42/57 directon in the motor menu (DIR)
check distances, jog 10mm and check, if distance is not correct you can change the microstep setting in themotor menu

@GeorgScha Thanks for all the suggestions, I still have a couple of questions regarding adapting. the first is the positioning of the dip switches and if it is better to connect everything as if they were DM556 or TB6600 drivers on the pinouts located at the bottom to avoid it interfering with the internal setup of the servo, the second is for the current of the drivers and how much the card can provide you with engines. Because I have TCM2225s set with the vref at 1.8, now I will have more consumption with those drivers, would I be able to give myself even more boost depending on the work needs or will I have to power everything separately? Thank you so much for your help. Greetings
