To Install the Card

Hardware
1. Switch off your system and all peripheral devices, and then touch a metal plate on your
computer to discharge any static electricity.
2. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
3. Remove the cover of your computer to expose the motherboard and PCI slots.
4. Find an available PCI slot. Remove the cover plate at the back of the computer to create an
opening for the audio card's jacks. Place the screw aside for later use.
5. Align your card's 32-bit slot connector with the expansion slot and press the card into the
slot gently and evenly, with the external jacks facing the outside of the computer. Ensure that
the bus connector has been pressed in as far as it will go and is sitting firmly inside the
expansion slot.
6. Plug the CD-ROM audio cable into the CD Audio connector and plug the speakers into the
Line Out/SPDIF Out jack (see Figure 1). Make any other internal connections applicable for
your computer, including modem or video card connections.
7. Replace the computer cover. Plug all components back into their respective outlets. You may
now start the computer.
