WHAT YOU NEED FOR INSTALLATION

Computers come in different shapes and sizes. The installation procedures in this manual apply generally and you should compare the illustrations here with your computer before you start your sound card installation.

• Sound card

• Installation CD

• A Phillips screwdriver

Have your Windows®installation CD available as it may be needed to complete installation of common software components.

Before Installing Soundcard

Its essential to wipe out every trace of any existing soundcard soft-

ware prior to installing the Harmonic Edge. Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel and choose Add/Remove Programs . Highlight the entry for the existing sound card software (if any) and click Add/Remove. Most sound card software will uninstall all files, drivers, and applications that relate to the sound card, but you might need to uninstall several different software components from the Add/Remove list. If you can't find anything that relates to the sound card in the Add/Remove Program list, check for un-install options in the sound card software. An alternate method is to go to the Device

Manager and remove sound card entries under the Sound, video and game controllers tab.

If the PC has sound support built into the motherboard, you'll need to disable that sound support before the PSC can be installed. This is usually done through the PC's setup program (BIOS) and/or by setting a jumper on the motherboard. There might be as many as 3 setting in BIOS that may need to be disabled, check the motherboard user's guide for these settings.

STATIC ELECTRICITY CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE

TO YOUR SOUND CARD

To prevent damage please:

1. Always hold your sound card by its edges. Avoid touching any electronic components on your sound card.

2. Use a grounding strap or touch any non -painted surface of your computer chassis before you begin installation to discharge static electricity.
