Installing a Sound Board
Unlike the IBM 6866 system, the IBM 6868 system does not have the
MIDI function built in. You must add a sound board to PCI slot 4 of
the system and install the appropriate software driver.
n
The sound board can only be installed in PCI slot 4. If you have another board
installed in PCI slot 4 (as explained in “Avid Xpress Board
Configurations” on page 4-5), you cannot install the sound board.
Avid has tested and supports the following sound boards for use with
the Avid Xpress system on the IBM 6868 system:
•Turtle Beach
™
Montego II
™
• Diamond Sonic Impact S90
• Diamond Sonic Impact S100
When you install the sound board in PCI slot 4, you must be careful
with the cable shown in Figure 4-11. The cable is used for CD-ROM
audio and has nothing to do with the sound board. Figure 4-1 also
shows the CD-ROM audio connector.
