Quick Guide to Getting Started

Here is the list of steps required to get your DMAN PCI card up and running:

1. Install drivers and support software (See Windows Software Installation).

IMPORTANT: You should run the DMAN PCI Setup program before
installing the DMAN PCI adaptor card in your system. This order will make
Plug-and-Play configuration more reliable.

2. Physically install the card in your computer (See Hardware Installation).
3. Restart Windows and allow Windows Plug-and-Play to configure the

DMAN PCI drivers (See Restarting Your Computer for the First Time).

4. Configure your digital recording software to select the DMAN PCI as its

active audio adaptor (See Using DMAN PCI with Software Applications
and your applications software manual).

Windows Software Installation

Your DMAN PCI package includes a set of Windows 95/98 software diskettes.
These diskettes contain the DMAN PCI Setup program, the DMAN PCI
Windows driver software and DirectX software drivers. This section describes
how to run the Setup program and install all of these DMAN PCI software
components.

Installation, Disk 1” into your 3.5 floppy drive. Go to the Start menu; select

3. The Midiman DMAN PCI logo will appear while InstallShield prepares for

setup. Then, the big blue DMAN PCI Windows Setup screen appears,
announcing “Midiman DMAN PCI Setup.”

4. A Welcome dialog box now appears. Select "Next>" to continue.
5. The Select Components dialog box then appears. The list of installable

components will show: Driver Files and DirectX Files. Each component

component will be installed. By default, each component is selected for
installation. It is recommended that you leave the selections this way.
