5. Hardware Installation
Before installing the PCI Express card, please make sure the computer is switched off and
the power cable is disconnected from mains supply. Inserting or removing the card while
the computer is in operation can cause irreparable damage to both motherboard and card!
1. Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from the computer.
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 HDSPe AIO from its protective bag, discharge any static in
your body by touching the metal chassis of the PC.
4. Prior to installation: Connect the HDSPe AIO card to any Expansion Board (if present) using
the supplied flat ribbon cable. Please read the Expansion Board's manual for more details.
5. Insert the HDSPe AIO firmly into a free PCI Express slot, press and fasten the screw.
6. If present, insert the Expansion Board(s) and fasten the screw(s).
7. Replace the computer's housing.
8. Reconnect all cables including the power cord.
6. Hardware - Connectors
6.1 External Connectors
The bracket of the
HDSPe AIO has one
ADAT optical input
and output, a 9-pin
and a 15-pin D-sub
socket. The included
breakout cables
provide all the analog
and digital connec-
tions.
The
ADAT I/O can also be used as optical SPDIF I/O, if set up accordingly in the Settings dia-
log.
The 9-pin
digital breakout cable has two RCA connectors as coaxial SPDIF I/O (the red phono
socket is the output ), and an XLR AES/EBU input and output.
The 15-pin
analog breakout cable has four RCA connectors (stereo analog I/O), a 1/4" TRS
jack (headphones), and two 5-pin DIN connectors (MIDI I/O). Using the optional analog XLR
breakout cable BO9632-XLRMKH, the HDSPe AIO offers balanced Line inputs and outputs via
female and male XLR connectors.
Optional HDSPe AIO Word Clock Module
The expansion board HDSPe AIO Word Clock Module provides one word clock input and two
word clock outputs. A green LED signals the LOCK state of the word clock input stage. A small
push switch allows to activate 75 Ohm termination for the word clock input. The yellow LED is lit
when termination is active.
Optional Analog Expansion Boards AI4S-192 and AO4S-192
These expansion boards increase the number of available channels by four balanced analog
inputs and outputs respectively. Thus the HDSPe AIO turns into an I/O solution with eight chan-
nels ADAT, two channels SPDIF, two channels AES, six channels analog in and eight channels
analog out.
