Installation – all products
or, more simply, by touching your bare hand to the metal casing of the
computer’s power supply. (For this latter method to work, the computer must be
plugged in, though not turned on.) After you’ve discharged your static, unplug
the computer before proceeding to the next step.
6. Remove the card from its protective anti-static bag. Handle the card carefully by
its edges, and
insert it into the selected expansion slot
. Insure that the card’s
edge connector (the protruding edge with the gold leads) is seated firmly into the
slot. Centering the card over the slot and using a gentle rocking motion while
pushing downward into the slot generally works well. Be careful not to force the
card into the slot, or bend or twist it while it is being inserted, as this could result
in the card being damaged.
7. Now use the screw that you removed earlier, from the protective back plate, to
attach the metal bracket
on the card to the computer’s rear panel.
8. OPTIONAL:
(If you have Mia or MiaMIDI, skip this step.)
An Esync cable
comes with Gina24, and can be used to daisy chain several 24-bit Echo cards
together. Esync is a proprietary form of super clock that allows you to sync
together multiple 24-bit Echo products. Simply attach the Esync cable to the
two-prong “Esync Out” connector on the Layla24/Gina24 PCI card, and attach
the other end to the “Esync In” connector on your Gina24 PCI card.
9.
Replace the computer’s cover
, and secure it. Reattach its power supply cord
and reconnect any peripherals that you may have removed prior to beginning the
installation.
10.
(Layla24 and Gina24 only)
Locate the audio interface box (Layla24 and
Gina24), the interface cable, and the power cable. Securely mount the interface
into your equipment rack (Layla24 only). If you will not be mounting the box in
a rack, remove the backing from the four rubber feet and place one in each
bottom corner of the interface unit. Then be sure to locate the rack-mount box in
a secure location.
Plug one end of the cable into the connector
on the Echo PCI card that now
protrudes through the back panel of your computer, and secure the cable using
the built-in screws located on both sides of the connector.
Attach the other end
