Universal Audio UAD POWERED PLUG-INS ver.6.1 - Manual (Page 31)

UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 31 - Chapter 2: UAD Installation
However, if a computer system has both PCI/PCI-X and PCIe slots, the
UAD–1, UAD–1e, and UAD-2 can all be installed and used simultaneously as
a multidevice system. See
Chapter 5, “Using Multiple UAD Devices.”
Important: The UAD-1 will ONLY work in PCI and PCI-X slots, and the UAD-
1e, UAD-2, and UAD-Xtenda will ONLY work in PCI Express (PCIe) slots. Be
extremely careful to only install the UAD device(s) into a compatible slot!
PCIe x1 UAD-2, UAD-1e, and UAD-Xtenda are “x1” PCIe cards. Although these cards
can be installed in any x1/x4/x8/x16 PCIe slot, putting a them in any PCIe
slot faster than x1 will not improve performance.
Installing the
UAD Cards
After installing the UAD Powered Plug-Ins software, install the UAD DSP
card(s). Hardware installation is the same for all platforms.
To install the UAD DSP and/or UAD-Xtenda card(s):
1.
Install the UAD software first ( page 28 ).
2.
Power down the computer system.
3.
Open the computer case. If necessary, refer to the computer manufacturer’s
documentation for instructions.
4.
Remove the rear slot cover and screw of an available expansion slot.
