2 - Hardware Installation
Step 1: Prepare your computer
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 bracket from one PCI slot. If you have the E-MU 1212
m
system or are
installing the Sync Daughter Card you’ll need to remove the bracket from two PCI slots.
See the figure at left.
Step 2: Install the E-MU 1010 PCI card
1. Align the E-MU 1010 PCI card with the slot and press gently but firmly down into the slot
as shown in the figure opposite.
2. Do not force the E-MU 1010 card into the slot. Make sure that the gold finger connector
of the card is aligned with the PCI bus connector on the motherboard before you insert
the card into the PCI slot. If it doesn’t fit properly, gently remove it and try again.
3. Secure the card to the slot using a screw (if necessary).
