Installation Instructions
This manual is intended as a guide for those who are not familiar with the installation of PC
peripherals and software applications and as a reference for experienced users. If you are new to
installing PC peripherals and software applications, follow the step-by-step instructions in this
manual to help you through the installation process.
Before You Begin
Before proceeding, make sure your computer system meets the System Requirements listed
above. If you are unsure whether your system meets the minimum requirements, contact
I/OMagic Technical Support.
Step 1.
Once you are certain your system meets all of the requirements, prepare a clean
workspace, and gather the tools you will need. For installation of the card, you will need
a Phillips head and/or a Flathead screwdriver, and we recommend you use a container to
hold loose screws.
Step 2.
Carefully unpack the box contents. Leave the audio card in its static-resistant bag until
later in the installation process. This protective bag has been specially designed to
protect the card from potentially damaging static electricity.
