5. If your workstation has a CD audio cable that connects the optical drive to the system board, and
if you wish to continue using it with the Sound Blaster X-FI XtremeMusic Audio Card only,
disconnect the cable from the workstation system board. Leave the other end of the cable
connected to the optical drive.
NOTE: The CD audio cable (which connects analog audio signals from the CD drive) is not
required with these two cards due to the software applications that support the cards. An existing
CD audio cable can be permanently disconnected and set aside at this time if desired.
6. If you continue using the CD audio cable disconnected in Step 5, connect the cable to the AUX_IN
(2) connector on the Sound Blaster X-FI XtremeMusic Audio Card (as shown in the above figure ).
CAUTION: Do not connect the CD audio cable to the VIDEO_IN connector on the Sound Blaster
X-FI XtremeMusic Audio Card.
