Warning.
Unplug your PC from the socket and remove the cable from the back
plate before opening it!
And now step-by-step:
Switch off your computer, as well as all peripherals such as your printer and monitor. Do
not unplug it, yet. This provides additional grounding.
Touch your computer's back plate to discharge any static you might carry. Now you can
remove the power chord.
Open your PC.
(ONLY EWS88 MT) If you want to install the 88AX box internally, you must find a vacant
5.25-inch drive bay. Depending on your PC, you might have to remove its front cover with
suitable tools. Please take extra care when doing this, as sharp edges may cause injury.
Tip: choose a bay located directly under an existing CD drive. Otherwise suspended cables
will literally drive you `round the bend every time you change a CD.
Connect the ribbon cable to the back of the break-out box using the supplied adapter and
slide the box into position. Affix the box with the screws (make sure you use the bolts to
ensure that the box is installed electrically safe).
Now locate an empty PCI-slot, take out the screw, which holds the cover plate in its place,
and remove it. To ensure maximum system performance, choose a slot, which is not
immediately next to an existing card, as some components such as graphics-cards and SCSI
devices may transmit signals which interfere with the EWS88 card.
Carefully remove the packaging and hold it with one hand on its edges, the other hand on
the metal PC case.
This will ensure that your electrostatic charge discharges into the PC case and won't
damage the sound card. Under no circumstances you must touch the card's electrical
components.
(ONLY EWS 88 MT) After placing the break-out box inside your PC, connect it to the card.
If applicable, connect CD drives, additional EWS88 or the optional EWS
card. Please note the corresponding installation directions (to CD-drives page 42; for
cascading from page 44).
Align the golden connector with the length of the PCI slot.
Gently press the card into the slot. The pressure must be evenly applied to the whole
length of the card in order to slot in. It is important that you do not press the card too hard,
as you may damage the card.
Secure the card to the expansion slot with a screw.
Replace the cover onto your system.
