The SoundWave 32 is designed to be easy-to-use and
easy-to-install. Before installing SoundWave 32 into
your computer, make sure that it will not conflict
with existing components. See Section 3 for help on
checking for potential conflicts.
There are three fundamental steps to the installation.
These steps are explained in detail on the following
pages:
Step 1: Preparing your Computer
You will need to take the cover off your computer and
select a 16-bit expansion slot for the SoundWave 32.
Step 2: Preparing your SoundWave 32
SoundWave 32 can be installed using the preset
jumper settings. The jumpers are used to configure
the hardware I/O address and the Wavetable ROM
chip size. If you need to change a default setting, see
Table 1.1 for other options. Other addresses used are
software configured.
Step 3: Installing your SoundWave 32
SoundWave 32 allows for connection of various ex-
ternal devices, such as a microphone, speakers, CD
player, CD-ROM drive, joystick and MIDI connec-
tions. See Figures 1.1 and 1.5 for connection loca-
tions.
This step also provides installation instructions for
various external devices, such as the MIDI interface
connection. Once your computer cover has been
removed, gently push the card down into the expan-
sion slot. After the card is securely seated, replace the
cover. The SoundWave 32 is now ready to operate.
