Installation of the SoundCard

Installation of the card must be done in the following procedure:

n Notice that installation of the card requires an empty PCI card slot in your computer. If you use a PCI slot that has been occupied

with another card, first remove the driver software for that card, turn off the computer to remove the card, and then reboot the computer to forcibly recognize that the old card is not there. After completion of this process, turn off the computer and start the following installation process for the new card.

1 Referring to the manual that came with your computer, as explained in “Consulting on Documentation” of

the paper document (Getting Started) in the package, prepare for installation of the card inside your computer.

2 Open the antistatic bag and take out the card while holding it by its edge to avoid touching metal PCI

connectors and electronic components on the card.

3 Locate a sticker put on the card that is printed with a card’s serial number. Make a note of the number

for online registration, as explained in “User Registration” above.

4 Make sure the location of internal connectors on the card that attach with appropriate connectors from the

internal devices of the computer (audio lines from CD-ROM drive, Modem card, video card). Each location of the card’s connector is as follows:

Connect this socket to your mother board if you wish to reproduce the sound from a DOS game in MS-DOS real mode.

5 Making necessary internal connections between the card and devices, attach the card to the PCI card slot

in the computer. Make sure that the card is firmly seated in the appropriate direction. Do not force on the card if you feel it does not fit to the slot. Reconfirm first that you are attempting with a correct slot referring to the manual that came with your computer, and then retry.

6 After internal connections, make external connections with your peripheral devices (speakers,

microphone, MIDI keyboard, etc.).

Installation of the Driver Software

The soundcard will not work until you install appropriate driver software (Yamaha DS-XG driver) and reboot the computer. Follow the instructions below to install the appropriate DS-XG driver.

n Different driver software should be installed to a different version of Windows 95. Say, Windows 95 OEM System Release 2 (aka.,

OSR2) requires driver software other than for pre-OSR2 version of Windows 95.
