core system, use one of the three available Audio

Connect the other end of the Audio Wire cable to
the Audio Wire socket on the interface as

IMPORTANT NOTE
Always power on your expansion interface when
operating your core system. In fact, you should
turn on all audio interfaces connected to the
PCI-424 card.
COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION
To complete the installation, open the PCI Audio
Console to confirm that the PCI-424 card sees the
newly installed interface and to configure your
multi-interface system. For details, turn to
chapter 11, “Expanding Your PCI-424 System”
(page 101).
