IMPORTANT: Do not connect the PCI Host Adapter card to the rack-mount chassis when your computer is powered on. Doing so may damage the interface. Only connect (or disconnect) the PCI card and rack-mount unit when your computer is powered off.

IMPORTANT: The Host Cable connector features a 25-pin jack that looks like the parallel (printer) port connection found on some computers. If your computer has a parallel port, be careful not to confuse these two connectors and do not attempt to connect the PCI Host Adapter card to anything other than the rack-mount portion of the Delta 1010 interface. Doing so may damage the interface.

The PCI Host Adapter card and rack-mount portion of the interface are connected using a standard 25-pin “D-Sub” cable. This is the same type of “bidirectional printer cable” used to connect printers to the parallel port (printer port) of a computer. This type of cable is commonly available through computer and professional audio stores and M-Audio has successfully tested Delta 1010 with cables up to 25 feet in length. If the supplied Host Cable is not long enough for optimal for computer/ interface placement, consider replacing the included cable with a longer one.
