Setting Up the Digital Audio System<br />
Please read the following sections as they apply to your system as you install the E-MU<br />
1010, paying special attention to the various warnings they include.<br />
Prior to installing the hardware, take a few moments to write down the 18-digit serial<br />
number, which is located on the back of the box and on the 1010 PCI Card. This<br />
number can help EMU Customer Service troubleshoot any problems you may<br />
encounter—by writing the number down now, you’ll avoid having to open your<br />
computer to find it later on.<br />
Safety First!<br />
To avoid possible permanent damage to your hardware, make sure that all connections<br />
are made with the host computer’s power off. Unplug the computer’s<br />
power cable to make sure that the computer is not in sleep mode.<br />
Take care to avoid static damage to any components of your system. Internal<br />
computer surfaces, the E-MU 1010 PCI board and the interfaces are susceptible to<br />
electrostatic discharge, commonly known as “static.” Electrostatic discharge can<br />
damage or destroy electronic devices. Here are some procedures you can follow<br />
when handling electronic devices in order to minimize the possibility of causing<br />
electrostatic damage:<br />
Avoid any unnecessary movement, such as scuffing your feet when handling<br />
electronic devices, since most movement can generate additional charges of static<br />
electricity.<br />
Minimize the handling of the PCI card. Keep it in its static-free package until needed.<br />
Transport or store the board only in its protective package.<br />
When handling a PCI card, avoid touching its connector pins. Try to handle the<br />
board by its edges only.<br />
Before installing a PCI card into your computer, you should be grounded. Use a<br />
ground strap to discharge any static electric charge built up on your body. The<br />
ground strap attaches to your wrist and any unpainted metal surface within your<br />
computer. If you don’t have a ground strap, you can ground yourself by touching<br />
the metal case of another piece of grounded equipment.<br />
Connector Types<br />
These connector types are used to connect the E-MU 1010 hardware components. They<br />
will be referred to by the name shown in the first column of the following chart:<br />
Name Description Connects<br />
Card/External CAT5 Connector 1010 PCI card and MicroDock<br />
S/PDIF In RCA Connector S/PDIF digital audio devices<br />
S/PDIF Out RCA Connector S/PDIF digital audio devices<br />
ADAT Optical In TOSLINK Optical Connector ADAT digital audio devices (or S/PDIF)<br />
ADAT Optical Out TOSLINK Optical Connector ADAT digital audio devices (or S/PDIF)<br />
Warning: Please verify that all cables are connected only to the proper components<br />
before powering up your system.<br />
As you install<br />
hardware components,<br />
observe the following<br />
general precautions to<br />
avoid damage to your<br />
equipment and yourself.<br />
