Installation of hardware
Take the following precautionary measures prior to installing the hardware:
1. Ensure the PC is switched off and disconnected from the mains.
2. Also, disconnect the printer and monitor cables (they have their own power supplies) to make absolutely sure the PC is not live.
3. Now unscrew the computer casing.
4. Subsequently, remove any static electricity you may carry on your body. Do this by touching a (neutral) pipe of the central heating system or an unpainted water pipe, among other things. Please note that you must not use a magnetic screwdriver for this. Before you proceed any further, briefly touch the iron frame of the PC casing. Make sure that you minimise contact with any contact points of the PC, PC Card or the memory.
5. Find a vacant PCI slot and remove the metal guard plate part of the computer casing in front of the relevant slot. On occasion the card does not allow for it to be inserted in the PCI slot smoothly. Should this be the case, do not force anything, but try another available slot.
6. Once the card has been successfully installed, check whether all other cards are still properly inserted in the PCI slots. It is possible that the other PCI cards are lifted up slightly when installing a new PCI card; as a result, the relevant cards or even the entire PC may no longer operate correctly.
7. Replace the casing on the computer base and correctly reconnect all cables.
8. Switch on the PC again.
Installation
When starting up the PC, Windows will recognise the Sound Card and the following screen will appear.
Here click “Cancel” (Cancel).
After the PC has started up, insert the Sweex CD-ROM in the CD player. If you have already done so, open the CD-ROM player and close it again. The CD-ROM will start automatically. Click on “Driver” to start the driver installation process.
