4 - E-MU PCIe Digital Audio System - 0404
2 - Hardware Installation
Step 1: Prepare your computer
1. Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices.
2. Touch a metal plate on your computer to ground yourself and to discharge any static
electricity, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
3. Remove the computer cover.
4. Remove the metal bracket from one of the PCIe slots. See the figure at left.
IMPORTANT: Remove any other audio cards or motherboard audio, and uninstall
the audio card or motherboard audio software from your PC before installing this
card. Once the 0404 has been successfully installed and is working properly, you
may be able to install another audio card.
Step 2: Install the E-MU 0404 PCIe card
1. Align the E-MU 0404 PCIe card with the slot and press gently but firmly down into the
slot as shown in the figure at left.
2. Do not force the E-MU 0404 card into the slot. Make sure that the gold finger
connector of the card is aligned with the PCIe bus connector on the motherboard
before you insert the card into the PCIe slot. If it doesn’t fit properly, gently remove it
and try again.
3. Secure the card to the slot using a screw (if necessary).
Step 3: Close the Computer
1. Replace the cover to your computer.
2. Plug the power cord and peripheral devices into your computer and turn it back on.
