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.
