Installing Hardware

Installation Steps

Step 1: Prepare the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX hardware

Turn off the main power supply and disconnect your computer’s power cord. Systems using an ATX power supply unit with soft power off may still be powering the PCI slot. This can damage your audio card when it is inserted into the slot.

1.Place the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX External I/O Module near your computer.

2.Locate the AD_LINK cable that links your External I/O Module to your Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX card.
