M-AUDIO DMAN - Manual (Page 12)

Hardware Installation
To mechanically install the DMAN do the following:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Remove the cover and position the computer so that you can
easily access its ISA slots.
3. Select the ISA slot where you will install your DMAN card.
Make sure it is a 16 bit ISA slot. If you don't know what “16
bit ISA slot” means, check the owner’s manual for your
computer. A 16 bit slot consists of two in-line edge-
connectors instead of one.
4. Before removing the DMAN from its protective anti-static
bag, touch the metal power supply case of the computer in
order to dissipate any static electricity charge your body
may have accumulated. You might want to pick up a
grounding wrist strap (available from electronics stores like
Radio Shack) if you want to be doubly sure you aren't
carrying a static charge that could damage some of the chips
on the card.
5. Remove the metal bracket that covers the access hole on the
back of the computer. This bracket is usually fastened to the
computer with a single screw.
6. Position the DMAN card over the target ISA slot and fit the
card loosely over it with the DMAN card upright. Press the
card gently but firmly downward into the slot until the card
is completely and squarely seated in the slot. If the card
seems difficult to seat, a slight rocking motion may help.
7. Screw the DMAN's metal bracket down into the screw hole
on the back of your computer using the screw you removed
in step 5 above.
8. Place the cover back on your computer.
DMAN Connections (see Typical Setup Diagram below)
1. Connect the Line Out from the DMAN to the tape return jack
of your mixer, or to your amplifier, multimedia speakers, or
whatever else you may be using to amplify the sound. To
avoid a potential audio “pop”, it is a good idea to turn off
the amplifier or self-powered speakers before connecting to
Line Out.
2. Connect the tape send of your mixer, or Line Out of another
audio source, to the Line In jack of DMAN.
