The setup - Short and simple for busy professionals.
■ Before installing the PCI card, please check the Sync-In and Sync-Out connections
(PHASE/EWS Connect) on the PCI card. If you do not have any other TerraTec PCI
systems with EWS Connect connections in your computer, the following applies:
Sync-In (CN1) – the jumper must be positioned at 1-2;
Sync Out (CN2) – this connection remains free.
If you have other TerraTec PCI systems with EWS Connect connectors in your com-
puter, and want to synchronize them, please first read the chapter entitled "Cascading
and internal synchronization." (Ü page 32)
■
The PHASE 28 audio interface is a PCI card with bus-mastering support. Please
choose a slot that is as far away from the graphics card(s) and SCSI/RAID controllers
as possible - usually as close to the "bottom" as possible in most installations. Also,
remember that the heavy cable whip hangs down, and that there are cables con-
nected to it.
■
You will need one (1) IRQ. If you want to install multiple audio systems of the Ter-
raTec family, you can do so with no problem– all PCI cards use the so-called IRQ
sharing mode (for details on cascading, see Ü page 32).
■
The driver installation in Windows (98SE to XP) follows the standardized defaults set
by the operating system manufacturer. You can find the drivers on the accompanying
CD-ROM or on the Internet at www.terratec.com in the SUPPORT area.
