How to bypass mixer pres when using outboard mic preamp?

Hello all, this is my first post here. Please excuse my ignorance.

I am about to get my first outboard mic preamp (I think a PreSonus MP20 used at GC for $300). How do I run the signal into my mixer without going through the board pres? My mixer has balanced line ins, but they are pre-preamp. It also has inserts.

Yamaha PM-400 mixer

Hey all. I bought this thing in an antique shop for a hundred bucks a few months ago and haven't used it except to make sure it works. Anyone know when this thing came out? It's eight-channel and looks pretty old. I'm just looking for any info anybody might have on this thing. It sits in my living room and wispers to me, "use me. use me." I will soon enough.
Thanks.

Roland VM-7100 digital mixer - reviews?

anyone know where i can find more reviews of this item? i have done a number of searches via google, etc and have not found too many reviews.

anyone here own or have experience with this line of mixer?

i have an opportunity to get one and am curious about its quality.

the concept looks good but does it deliver in either a studio or live setting?

thx

where to crank the gain up, Mixer, Interface, or on PC

Ok guys here is my setup Alesis 32 Mixer, MOTU 828 into my DAW. the 828 has gain knobs for all channels, but when I use these in conjunction with the trim knobs on the mixer I get a lot of noise. Should I just use the mixer preamps and not the MOTU's. It gets even more confusing when I am transfering my bands practice sessions from our Tascam 4-track > mixer > 828 > PC.
