Delta Series Quick Start Guide 4
|
Mac OS X Installation
1. If possible, we recommend that you download the most
recent Delta drivers by going to the Support > Drivers
page at www.m-audio.com. This ensures that you have
the newest drivers available. If you do not have Internet
access, insert the Delta Series CD-ROM into your
computer to install the drivers that came with your Delta
interface.
a. If you are installing drivers from the Delta Series
CD-ROM, a CD-ROM icon will appear on your
desktop once the disc is inserted into your computer.
Double-click this icon to view the contents of the
disc. Next, double-click “Open Me.” Finally, select
your Delta interface from the drop-down menu on the
welcome screen and click “Install”.
b. If you are installing drivers from www.m-audio.com,
the downloaded file should automatically mount and
display its contents on the desktop. If this file does
not mount automatically, simply double-click the file
once it has finished downloading to view its contents.
Next, double-click the installer package.
2. Follow the driver installer’s on-screen instructions.
3. Click “Restart” once the installer has completed the
installation.
4. Once your machine has booted, shut down the computer
and disconnect its power cable.
5. Open your computer’s case.
6. Touch your computer’s metal chassis to ground yourself
before coming in contact with any electronic components
inside the computer. Uncontrolled discharge of excess
static electricity may cause damage to electronic
components.
7. Each unused PCI slot should have a metal bracket that
covers the slot’s accompanying access hole on the rear of
the computer. Select one available PCI slot and remove
its metal bracket. Be sure to save the bracket screw
(brackets are usually held in place by one screw) as you
will need it later.
6. Insert your Delta PCI card into your chosen PCI slot.
Secure the Delta PCI card in place using the bracket
screw mentioned in the previous step. Close the
computer case.
7. If your Delta interface features an external breakout box,
connect it to the Delta PCI card using the supplied Host
Adapter cable. If the breakout box includes a power
adapter, connect it now. Finally, reconnect the computer’s
power cord and turn on the computer.
8. When the computer has restarted, your Delta interface will
be ready to use.
