Chapter 2: Installing DigiMix
The installation instructions in this chapter are to be used only when
installing DigiMix as a stand-alone component without any other
DigiSuite cards. For all types of DigiMix installations, this chapter
provides configuration information in
page 12
and
"System BIOS settings" on page
installing DigiMix with other DigiSuite cards, refer to the DigiSuite
Installation Manual.
Antistatic and safety precautions
Read the following information carefully before installing DigiMix in
your computer system.
Static electricity from your body can damage your DigiSuite cards, Movie-
2 bus, or your computer. Although you may not notice it, static electricity is
generated every time you move. It's often too small to cause a spark, but
it can still cause damage to sensitive electronic components or at least
reduce their lifespan.
To avoid damage, please observe the following precautions:
q
Do not remove DigiSuite cards from their antistatic bags until you are
ready to install them. Before removing the cards, place the packages
within easy reach of the area where you intend to perform the
installation.
q
Try to work in an area where the relative humidity is at least 50%.
q
Do not wear wool or synthetic clothing. These fabrics tend to
generate more static electricity than cotton, which is best for this
kind of work.
q
Turn off the power switches on your computer and its connected
components.
q
Once you've opened your computer, drain static electricity from your
body by touching a bare metal surface on your computer chassis
before you install or remove any parts of your system. If you have a
grounding wrist strap, use it while handling and installing any
components in your computer.
