Hardware Installation
To mechanically install the DiO 2448, follow these steps:
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Remove the computer’s cover and position the computer so that you
may easily access its PCI slots.
3. Select the PCI slot where you will install your DiO 2448 card. Make sure
it is a PCI slot. If you don’t know what “PCI slot” means, check the
owner’s manual for your computer. PCI slots are distinguishable from
ISA slots by being shorter and set back farther from the outside of the
computer, however some newer computers have only PCI slots.
4. Before removing the DiO 2448 from its protective anti-static bag, touch
the metal power supply case of the computer in order to dissipate any
static electricity 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 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. Save the screw for a later step.
6. Position the DiO 2448 card over the target PCI slot, fitting the card
loosely over it with the DiO 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. Secure the DiO 2448 metal bracket down into the screw hole on the back
of your computer using the screw you removed in step 5 above.
8. Connect the audio output of your internal CD-ROM player to the
DiO 2448 if you wish to monitor it through the DiO 2448. A standard
cable may have been supplied with the CD-ROM, either analog or
digital, or one can be purchased at an electronics store. Please note that
only one CD header may be used at a time.
9. Place the cover back on your computer.
