Now it is time to connect the Delta R-BUS’s breakout cable to the PCI host
card that you have just installed. Never attach the break-out cable with

your warranty. Similarly, you should power down your computer before
attaching your R-BUS device to the 25-pin connector. With your
computer turned off:

Unwrap the Delta R-BUS breakout cable. Locate the 15-pin D-sub
connector on the Delta R-BUS PCI Host card.

Connect D-sub end of the breakout cable to the 15-pin D-sub connector
on the Delta R-BUS PCI Host card that now resides in your computer.

Delta Driver Software Installation

The Delta R-BUS system includes a driver CD for Windows
95/98/NT/ME/ 2000 and Macintosh, containing all Windows drivers,
Macintosh drivers, and Delta Control Panel software. To install these on
your system, please follow these steps:

Windows 2000 Installation

1. After installing the Delta R-BUS hardware, boot your system and start

Windows. During the Windows boot procedure, new hardware will
be automatically detected by the Found New Hardware Wizard.
Click ‘Next>’.

2. The ‘Found New Hardware Wizard’ will now ask how you want to

find the driver. "Search for the best driver for your device" is already
selected. Click ‘Next>’.

that only “Choose a Path” is checked, or click on the check box to do
so. Insert the Driver CD into your CD ROM drive. Type in the drive

path to the Delta drivers, which will be D:\Delta Series\Wdm. Click
‘Next>’.

M Audio Delta R-BUS. Click Next>.
