5. Use the screw removed earlier from the protective backplate to attach the

metal bracket at the back of the Gina card to the computer’s rear panel.

6. Replace the computer’s cover and secure it. Reattach its power supply

cord and reconnect any peripherals that you may have removed prior to

beginning the Gina installation.

7. Locate the Gina audio breakout box and the 25-pin audio connector cable.

Place the breakout box near your computer in a convenient location on a

level surface. Plug one end of the cable into the 25-pin connector on the

Gina card that now protrudes through the back panel of your computer,

and secure the cable using the built-in screws located on both sides of the

connector. Attach the other end of the cable to the rear of the audio

breakout box and fasten the cable securely with the screws.

NOTE: The cable included with your Gina system is a

shielded audio cable that has been custom manufactured to

exacting standards. Use of any other cable, such as a

computer printer cable, will result in unacceptably high

crosstalk and noise, thereby substantially reducing the

system’s overall audio quality. If longer cable lengths are

required, the correct approach is to extend the audio cables

between the Gina breakout box and your mixer/amplifier

rather than the cable between the breakout box and the

PCI card.

8. You can now attach external audio devices to the breakout box. Gina can

accommodate two analog input signals and can generate eight

independent analog output signals. In addition, Gina provides stereo

S/PDIF digital input and output. The S/PDIF jacks are located on the

Gina PCI card itself. The upper (white) jack is used for output, the lower

(red) jack for input. (NOTE: When connecting devices to the S/PDIF

jacks on Gina, do not use standard RCA audio cables. For reliable S/PDIF

operation, 75ohm coaxial video cables are recommended).

All of the analog and digital inputs and outputs on Gina are simultaneously

active, allowing you to record up to four channels of audio (two analog and

two digital) while playing back ten channels (eight analog and two digital).
