4 Delta Series Quick Start Guide

Mac OS X Installation

1.If possible, we recommend that you download the most recent Delta drivers by going to the Support > Drivers page at www.m-audio.com. This ensures that you have the newest drivers available. If you do not have Internet access, insert the Delta Series CD-ROM into your computer to install the drivers that came with your Delta interface.

a.If you are installing drivers from the Delta Series CD-ROM, a CD-ROM icon will appear on your desktop once the disc is inserted into your computer. Double-click this icon to view the contents of the disc. Next, double-click “Open Me.” Finally, select your Delta interface from the drop-down menu on the welcome screen and click “Install”.

b.If you are installing drivers from www.m-audio.com, the downloaded file should automatically mount and display its contents on the desktop. If this file does not mount automatically, simply double-click the file once it has finished downloading to view its contents. Next, double-click the installer package.

2.Follow the driver installer’s on-screen instructions.

3.Click “Restart” once the installer has completed the installation.

4.Once your machine has booted, shut down the computer and disconnect its power cable.

5.Open your computer’s case.

6.Touch your computer’s metal chassis to ground yourself before coming in contact with any electronic components inside the computer. Uncontrolled discharge of excess static electricity may cause damage to electronic components.

7.Each unused PCI slot should have a metal bracket that covers the slot’s accompanying access hole on the rear of the computer. Select one available PCI slot and remove its metal bracket. Be sure to save the bracket screw (brackets are usually held in place by one screw) as you will need it later.

6.Insert your Delta PCI card into your chosen PCI slot. Secure the Delta PCI card in place using the bracket screw mentioned in the previous step. Close the computer case.

7.If your Delta interface features an external breakout box, connect it to the Delta PCI card using the supplied Host Adapter cable. If the breakout box includes a power adapter, connect it now. Finally, reconnect the computer’s power cord and turn on the computer.

8.When the computer has restarted, your Delta interface will be ready to use.
