6. Hardware Installation
MAYA1010 requires multiple installation steps:
· PCI card installation
· Driver installation
Also you need to understand how to connect MAYA1010 to other external
devices such as MIC, amp, mixer, and recording devices such as MD or DAT
players.
1. Preparation for hardware installation
MAYA1010 PCI card and other components in the computer can easily be
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.
1) MAYA1010 PCI card is packaged in an anti static plastic pouch. Do not
open the pouch until you’re ready to install the card.
2) Turn off the computer and remove the power cable from your computer’s
power supply.
3) Remove the cover. Make sure that you have an available PCI slot in your
motherboard to install MAYA1010. Please refer to your computer’s user
manual on how to remove the cover.
4) To avoid possible static shock to the computer parts, discharge it by
touching the computer case or something grounded. We recommend
you to use an anti-static device such as an anti-static wrist band.
5) When you need to hold the MAYA1010 PCI card, please hold it on the
guide or edge of card. Do not grab the card by the board.

2. Installing MAYA1010 PCI card
1) Look for an empty PCI slot. If you do not know which one is a PCI slot,
please read the following:
2) The PCI slot is the most common and is used for a wide range of
devices from the soundcard to the modem. Usually, the PCI slot is the
white-colored slot. It should not be too hard to find the PCI slot for
MAYA1010.
3) If there is a guide blocking the empty slot, please remove the guide
using the proper screwdriver.
4) Put the MAYA1010 PCI card into the slot and make sure it is placed in
the slot correctly. Insert the card into the slot and then tighten the screw.
Close the case.
5) connect it to the breakout box using the provided cable.
6) Connect the I/O cable’s connector to the MAYA1010 PCI card.
