Computers come in different shapes and sizes. Therefore, the
installation procedures in this chapter apply generally and you should
compare the illustrations here with your computer before you start the
sound card installation.
A Philips-type Screwdriver is required for the sound card installation.
Your computers documentation should come in handy during the
sound card installation. Have it ready by your side when you start the

If you have an existing sound card (that is non-plug-and-play-based)
installed in your computer, you must first un-install its audio drivers
before you remove the sound card. Refer to your existing sound card
documentation for more details on this.
If your existing sound card is plug-and-play-based, then you can
safely proceed to install your new sound card. It is recommended that
any existing sound card be removed before installing your new sound
card.

You may wish to connect your CD-ROM audio cable to the sound card (this cable
should be supplied with the CD-ROM drive). However, as CD-ROM audio cables

is suited to the sound card.
The location of the CD Audio connector on the sound card and its pin-out
information can be found in Appendix C of this users manual.
