Installing the E-MU 0404 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 0404 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 bracket from any available PCI slot. If you are installing a Sync
Card as well, remove the bracket from two adjacent PCI slots. See figure 1 below.
5. Align the E-MU 0404 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 0404 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.
8. Attach the Analog and Digital breakout cables to the rear of the 0404 card.
9. Connect your audio cables to the breakout cables.
