Hardware Installation

To mechanically install the DiO 2448, follow these steps:

1. Turn off your computer.

2. Remove the computer’s cover and position the computer so that you

may easily access its PCI slots.

3. Select the PCI slot where you will install your DiO 2448 card. Make sure

it is a PCI slot. If you don’t know what “PCI slot” means, check the

owner’s manual for your computer. PCI slots are distinguishable from

ISA slots by being shorter and set back farther from the outside of the

computer, however some newer computers have only PCI slots.

4. Before removing the DiO 2448 from its protective anti-static bag, touch

the metal power supply case of the computer in order to dissipate any

static electricity your body may have accumulated. You might want to

pick up a grounding wrist strap (available from electronics stores like

Radio Shack) if you want to be doubly sure you aren’t carrying a static

charge that could damage the card.

5. Remove the metal bracket that covers the access hole on the back of the

computer. This bracket is usually fastened to the computer with a single

screw. Save the screw for a later step.

6. Position the DiO 2448 card over the target PCI slot, fitting the card

loosely over it with the DiO card upright. Press the card gently but

firmly downward into the slot until the card is completely and squarely

seated in the slot. If the card seems difficult to seat, a slight rocking

motion may help.

7. Secure the DiO 2448 metal bracket down into the screw hole on the back

of your computer using the screw you removed in step 5 above.

8. Connect the audio output of your internal CD-ROM player to the

DiO 2448 if you wish to monitor it through the DiO 2448. A standard

cable may have been supplied with the CD-ROM, either analog or

digital, or one can be purchased at an electronics store. Please note that

only one CD header may be used at a time.

9. Place the cover back on your computer.
