Installation; Short Overview - TerraTec SiXPack 5.1+ Manual

Installation.

The SoundSystem SiXPack 5.1 + installation should be no problem
thanks to the newest PCI and Plug&Play technology. If you already have
experience with installing hardware and software components in Win-
dows, you can proceed with the installation of this card without any
worries.

Short Overview

For the professionals who want to get started ASAP, here is a short overview:
·
The SoundSystem SiXPack 5.1 + is a PCI card (as you probably already noticed) and it and
the accompanying slot cover with the MIDI /Gameport should be placed as far as possible
away from graphic cards or SCSI controllers.
·
Don't worry: the poles of the connecting cable for the onboard digital input cannot be con-
nected incorrectly.
·
You need at least 1 IRQ.
·
You need a few free address ranges (usually not a problem).
·
The driver installation under Windows follows the standard routine, and the drivers can be
found on the accompanying SiXPack 5.1 + CD-ROM.
·
After installing the driver, take a look at the Device Manager and see if there is an exclama-
tion mark.
Tip. A good alternative: software first and then hardware!
We recommend a special installation variant that is particularly suited
to the installation of the SiXPack 5.1 + in a Windows system.
BEFORE installing the card in your PC, run the driver setup program: This can be accessed in the
Autostarter menu (the file AUTORUN.EXE in the root directory of the SiXPack 5.1 + CD-ROM)
over the menu point "Driver Installation" or the old fashion way using the following path:
For Windows 2000 / Me / 98SE:
<CD>:\Drivers\Wdm\SETUP.EXE
Only after this is complete do you actually install the card.
So much for the short version. A detailed description of the installation in text and pictures is
given below.
