CHAPTER 8 — Hardware Installation
Regarding Soundcards and Audio Cables
Whichever category your soundboard falls into, you will find that the best
source of information about installing the soundboard in your computer is
your soundboard's manual. Once you have successfully installed the
soundboard in your computer, you can continue below for a description of the
different cable connections that need to be made. Plextor strongly suggests
you not use the SCSI connection on your soundcard, if available, to control
your UltraPleX.
Audio Cables
Plextor provides audio cables in those kits which also include SCSI controllers
because we are assuming this will be the primary, and possibly the first, SCSI
CD-ROM in your system. Our "bare drive" kits include no cabling. Please see
page 66 for sources of audio cables. In kits with a SCSI card, two cables come
with an internal kit and one set with an external kit. One cable delivered with
your internal drive is MPC compliant, and the other has connectors designed
for use with Sound Blaster sound cards. The cable delivered with your external
drive has two RCA-type color-coded connectors at one end, which connect to
your drive, and a single stereo mini-jack at the other end, which plugs into the
line-in receptacle on your soundboard (at the back of your computer).
If you purchased an internal drive SCSI card kit and you have a sound card
other than Sound Blaster that is not MPC compliant, you will have to purchase
a different audio cable from a computer supply store. We can help by
recommending several vendors who offer audio cables and can get them to
you quickly at a reasonable price, see listing page 66.
Please see next page for diagrams illustrating the cable connections.
