Installation Procedure
1. Turn off the computer and unplug its AC power cord.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install your daugh-
ter board while the computer is plugged in. This
can cause a serious shock hazard!
2. Remove the top cover of the computer. (For details,
please refer to your computer's owner's manual.)
3. Remove your existing sound card from the computer's
expansion slot.
4. Carefully remove the DB50XG daughter board from
the anti-static bag.
IMPORTANT: Before touching the daughter
board, first touch a metal surface to discharge
any static electricity which may be in your body,
since such static electricity can cause serious
damage to your DB50XG. Also, do not touch
the inside surfaces of your daughter board in
order to prevent possible interference with or
damage to the circuitry.
5. Carefully line up the DB50XG daughter board with the
sound card and slowly but steadily guide it into the sound
card's expansion port, also inserting the DB50XG's plas-
tic spacers into the corresponding holes to affix the
daughter board to the sound card. To prevent breaking
or damaging the daughter board during installation, do
not use excessive force when attaching it to the sound
card.
