2. Hardware Installation
MAYA44 installation requires 3 steps: ‘PCI card installation’, ‘Driver installation’ and finally
‘Connection to an external device’. ‘The PCI card installation’ step is p lacing the MAYA44 PCI card into
the PCI slot. ‘Driver installation’ is having the operating system in your computer recognize MAYA44
and building the communication channel. In the ‘Connection to an ex ternal device’ step, you will get to
understand how to connect MAYA44 to other devices such as a mic, amp, or a mixer and a recording
device such as an MD or DAT player.
1. System Requirements
To take advantage of MAYA44 and its full capacity, the computer specifications are very important. Even
though the MAYA44 is built in low CPU dependability, the computer needs to meet some requirements in
order to get maximum performance. MAYA44 is not just a simple sound card, but a multimedia digital
audio device with various functions. Therefore, the performance of the MAYA44 is affected by the
computer specs that are required to process the vast amount of digital data. A faster CPU, faster hard disk,
and larger amounts of RAM are recommended.
Minimum System Requirement
- Intel Pentium II CPU
- 64MB of RAM
- One available PCI slot
- Microsoft Windows 98SE/ME/2000 Operating system
- UDMA 33 hard disk drive
Recommended System Requirement
- Intel Pentium III CPU or higher
- Motherboard with Intel series chipsets (BX, 815, 850…)
- More than 128MB of RAM
- One available PCI slot
- One available PCI slot space for Miditrak2120
- Microsoft Windows 98SE/ME/2000 Operating system
- UDMA 66/100 7200 rpm Hard Disk Drive

2. Preparation for hardware Installation
The MAYA44 PCI card and other components in the computer can be easily damaged by electrical shock.
You need to use an anti-static device that can discharge the static electricity of your body to avoid
potential static damage to the cards.
The MAYA44 PCI card is placed into the anti-static plastic pouch as it is packaged. Do not open the
pouch before you install the card.
Turn off the computer power and remove the power cable from your computer power supply.
Remove the computer cover. Make sure that you have an available PCI slot in your motherboard to install
the MAYA44. Please refer to your computer user’s manual to remove the cover.
9
To avoid possible static shock to the computer parts, discharge it by touching the computer case or
something grounded. We recommended you to use an an ti static device such as an anti static wristband.
When you need to hold the MAYA44 PCI card, please, hold it on the guide. Do not grab the card by the
board.
3. Installing MAYA44 PCI card
Please look for an empty PCI slot. If you do not know which one is an actual PCI slot, please read the
following;
There are three kinds of slots in recent computers. The PCI slot is most common and is used for different
types of devices from the sound card to the modem. Usually, th e PCI slot is the white colored slot. The
ISA slot is used in older computers and it is marked with a black slot. It is marked with a brown slot and
is located close to the CPU. It will be not too hard to find the PCI slot for the MAYA4 4.
10
If there is a guide next to the empty slot, please remove the guide using the proper screwdriver.
Next, put the MAYA44 PCI card into the slot and make sure it is placed in the slot correctly. The card will
fit into your slot and then tighten the screw.
Close the computer case.
