2 Korg 1212 I/O
English
Installation
Installing the 1212 I/O is simple and straightforward. However, to make
sure that you don’t damage the card or the computer, please read the
instructions on pages 2-11 completely before performing the installation.
They’re short, they’re sweet, and they’re even sprinkled with a few zippy
graphics–the perfect accompaniment to a brief coffee break.
Unpacking
The 1212 I/O package contains the following items:
• 1212 I/O PCI audio card (don’t remove this from its envelope yet!)
• 1212 I/O software floppy disks for MacOS and Windows 95
• S/PDIF breakout cable
• ADAT sync and Word Clock breakout cable
• ADAT Timecode Conditioner
• This manual
• Warranty card
The package may also contain a bundled software application.
Handle carefully!
Avoid static electricity
The 1212 I/O card is packaged within a protective anti-static envelope,
which prevents static electricity from damaging its delicate electronic
components. It’s a good idea to keep this envelope around; whenever you
need to ship your card, or to store it outside of your computer, put it back
in its envelope.
Before handling the card, always discharge any static electricity from your
clothes and body by touching a grounded metal surface, such as the case
around your computer’s power supply . After doing this, use one hand to
hold the card by the metal jack panel (where the connectors are), and touch
the power supply again with your other hand. While working with the
card, avoid moving around on carpeted surfaces–shuffling your feet on a
rug is almost guaranteed to build up a static charge. If you need to walk
around in the middle of working with the card, just repeat the static
discharge procedure before touching the card again.
These simple steps will ensure that a tiny little jolt of static electricity–like
the kind that holds your socks together when they come out of the dryer–
doesn’t zap your card into oblivion.
