Handling
The card contains some sensitive circuitry, so you must follow these guidelines while handling your
Delfina soundboard.
Always ground yourself by touching some large metal object (such as radiator) before handling the
board. This way you minimize the risk for static discharge.
Hold the card by its edges, not touching the components.
Never install or remove Delfina while the computer is powered on.
When installing Delfina, check very carefully that the connector pins are aligned properly. Improper
installing may destroy both Delfina and your computer. Especially pay attention to the orientation of the
cable that connects the computer and the Delfina. This cable carries all signals, including power, and
improper alignment may result in power being routed to signal inputs of sensitive parts. Double-check
these connections, as a wrong connection can destroy both, Delfina and the computer.
Never install or remove any internal audio cables while the computer or the audio equipment is
powered on. This may result in peak loudness, destroying your amplifier or speakers.
Avoid installing or removing external audio cables while the computer is powered on. Cable installing
while your amplifier is on might damage your audio equipment.
