,QVWDOOLQJ+DUGZDUH Installation Steps
Step 1: Prepare your
computer
Turn off the main power supply
and disconnect your computer’s
power cord. Systems using an
ATX power supply unit with soft
power off may still be powering
the PCI slot. This can damage
your audio card when it is
inserted into the slot.
1. Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices.
2. Touch a metal plate on your computer to ground yourself
and to discharge any static electricity, and then unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet.
3. Remove the computer cover.
4. Remove the metal brackets from two adjacent unused PCI
slots as shown in Figure 1-3. Put the screws aside for use
later.
metal
brackets
PCI slots
ISA slots
Figure 1-3: Removing metal plates
Remove any existing audio card or
disable the onboard audio chipset.
For more information, see
“Problems with Multiple Audio
Devices” on page B-9.
