6. Hardware Installation
Before installing the PCI card, please make sure the computer is switched off and the

the computer is in operation will cause irreparable damage to both motherboard and card!

2. Remove the computer's housing. Further information on how to do this can be obtained
from your computer´s instruction manual.
3. Important: Before removing the HDSP MADI from its protective bag, discharge any static in
your body by touching the metal chassis of the PC.
4. Connect the HDSP MADI card with the Expansion Board using the supplied flat ribbon
cable. Note: The connectors on the cable cannot be plugged in the wrong way round.
