Can someone give me detailed instructions to correctly calibrate the soundcard?

Since you'll be using one of the line-level outputs, you'll need to use the line-level input that is integral to the mic preamp. This will bypass the mic's initial preamp in the loopback, but will include its line amp, but that's fine, there's really no other way to do this.
You see from your manual that to invoke the mic preamp you use an XLR connector, but to use the Hi-Z or Line-in portion you use a 1/4" TRS plug. (Later, when using the mic, use an XLR). (Hopefully you have a calibration file for the microphone)
So you would connect a standard 1/4" TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) cable from one of the 6 line-out connector jacks to the A or B Line/Mic jack. Leave the 48v phantom power switch off for this test.
You will have to be sure that you turn off all the features (i.e. effects, soundfields, eq, etc, etc). You want it in simple 2.0 stereo mode to be used with REW. You'll have to see what channels REW recognizes and select those in the settings page appropriately for input and output.
Like most devices such as this, it will accept balanced or unbalanced, so if you are going unbalanced simply use TS connectors instead.
