Prepare Your Computer - Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum User Manual

Step 1: Prepare your computer
1. Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices.
Touch a metal plate on your computer to ground yourself and to discharge any static electricity, and then unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet.
Remove the computer casing.
Remove a metal bracket from an unused PCI slot. If you are installing the Joystick/MIDI bracket (optional), also remove an adjacent
metal bracket.
Caution!
Turn off the main power supply and disconnect your computer's power cord. Systems using an ATX power supply unit with soft
power off may still be powering the PCI slot. This can damage your audio card when it is inserted into the slot.
Note
Remove any existing audio card or disable the onboard audio chipset. For more information, see
Devices.
If you are installing the Platinum Drive (included with Audigy 2 ZS Platinum), remove the front panel cover from an unused 5 1/4-inch
drive bay.
