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.

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.
