MAYA1010

6. Hardware Installation

MAYA1010 requires multiple installation steps:
· PCI card installation
· Driver installation
Also you need to understand how to connect MAYA1010 to other external
devices such as MIC, amp, mixer, and recording devices such as MD or DAT
players.

1. Preparation for hardware installation

MAYA1010 PCI card and other components in the computer can easily be
damaged by electrical shock. You need to use an anti-static device that can
discharge the static electricity of your body to avoid potential static damage to
the cards.
1) MAYA1010 PCI card is packaged in an anti static plastic pouch. Do not
open the pouch until you're ready to install the card.
2) Turn off the computer and remove the power cable from your computer's
power supply.
3) Remove the cover. Make sure that you have an available PCI slot in your
motherboard to install MAYA1010. Please refer to your computer's user
manual on how to remove the cover.
4) To avoid possible static shock to the computer parts, discharge it by
touching the computer case or something grounded. We recommend
you to use an anti-static device such as an anti-static wrist band.
5) When you need to hold the MAYA1010 PCI card, please hold it on the
guide or edge of card. Do not grab the card by the board.
