3. Hardware Installation

System Recommendation

Juli@ is not simply a standard digital audio interface card, but a high-resolution device capable of
advanced processing of audio content. Even though Juli@ is built to have low-CPU resource
dependability, system specifications play a key part in the Juli@ 's performance. Systems with
more advanced components are generally recommended.

Minimum System Requirement

- Intel CPU or equivalent and compatible AMD CPU
- 512 MB RAM
- Direct X 8.1 or higher
- one available PCI x1 (or higher) slot
- DVD-ROM drive (for Cubase LE 6 installation)
- internet connection (for Cubase LE 6 activation)
- recent version of Microsoft Windows XP (SP2 or higher) or Windows Vista/7 (32-bit & 64-bit) or
- Mac OS X (10.6 or higher)
- the latest chipset and mainboard utility drivers and system updates must be installed

Preparation for Hardware Installation

The Juli@ PCI card and other components in the computer can be damaged easily by electrical
shock. You should use an anti-static device that can discharge the static electricity of your body to
avoid potential static damage to the cards. If you do not feel capable of installing a PCI card into
your computer please contact a computer specialist.
Turn off the computer power and remove the power cable from your computer power supply.
Disconnecting the Power Cord
Refer to your computer user's manual and remove the computer cover. Make sure that you have an
available PCI slot on your motherboard to install the Juli@.
