Hardware installation
Once the driver is installed, insert your Indigo product into your laptop. Simply
insert the card into any available CardBus slot. It’s OK to insert the card while
your computer is turned on.
Windows should detect that you have installed new hardware. Follow the on-
screen directions; your Indigo product should be automatically recognized. For
Windows XP, you should select the option “Install the software automatically.”
Note:
this version of the WDM driver has not been digitally signed by
Microsoft; for Windows 2000 and XP, you will need to confirm that you
want to install an unsigned driver.
Once the hardware is installed, a small “Safely Remove Hardware” icon will
appear in the system “tray” (usually on the lower right-hand side of the screen). In
addition, the blue power indicator on your Indigo will light up.
The “Safely remove hardware” icon
If you want to remove the card with your computer turned on, the card must first
be disabled.
To do this, click on the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon in the tray,
and select “Safely remove Echo Indigo”. You will get a message when it is safe to
remove it. Failure to disable the card before removing it could potentially damage
the card or the computer.
If you purchased an Indigo io or Indigo dj, you also received a 6 foot cable with
RCA and 1/4" connectors. Now would be a good time to use this cable to connect
your Indigo product to your other audio gear, and to connect a set of headphones.
