Installing the E-MU 1010 PCI Card
Note:
This installation is very simple but if you are not familiar with the installation
of computer peripherals and add-in boards, please contact your authorized E-MU
Systems dealer or an approved computer service center to arrange for the installation.
To install the 1010 PCI card into your computer
1.
Make sure that the power switch on your computer is off.
IMPORTANT: Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet!
2.
Touch a metal plate on your computer to ground yourself and to discharge any
static electricity.
3.
Follow the computer manufacturer’s recommended procedure for opening the case.
E
Note:
Some
computer cases don’t use
screws to secure PCI
cards. In this case, follow
the instructions that
came with your
computer.
4.
Remove the metal brackets from two adjacent PCI slots. If you have the E-MU 1820
system (non-M) you only need to remove the bracket from a single PCI slot. Put the
screw(s) aside for use later. See figure 1 below.
5.
Align the E-MU 1010 PCI card with the slot and press gently but firmly down into
the slot as shown in figure 2.
6.
Do not force the E-MU 1010 card into the slot. Make sure that the gold finger
connector of the card is aligned with the PCI bus connector on the motherboard
before you insert the card into the PCI slot. If it doesn’t fit properly, gently remove it
and try again.
7.
Secure the card into the slot using one of the screws you placed aside earlier.
