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 elec-
tricity, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
3. Remove the computer cover.
4. Remove the metal bracket from any available PCI slot. If you are installing a Sync Card as
well, remove the bracket from two adjacent PCI slots. See the figure at left.
Step 2: Install the E-MU 0404 PCI card
1. Align the E-MU 0404 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 0404 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).
