Installing the Layla24 Hardware
Once you have checked your system requirements, verified that there are no
problems with your system, and installed your ASIO-based software, it is
time to install Layla24 into your computer. Please refer to the section in
your Mac manual for installing a PCI card.
IMPORTANT - Unplug your computer and detach all peripherals before
proceeding with the following steps.
1.
Remove your computer’s cover.
This operation differs from computer
to computer. Refer to your computer’s manual for a further explanation of
this step if necessary.
2.
Select the slot into which you will install the Layla24 card.
You may
use any of the available PCI slots in your computer for Layla24. Remove
the bracket covering the expansion slot where you would like to install
Layla24. If there was a screw for the bracket, put it in a safe place, as you
will need it later to complete the installation.
3.
Insure that you have fully discharged all static electricity from your
body before handling the Layla24 card.
This can be done through the
use of a grounding strap or, more simply, by touching your bare hand to
the metal casing of the computer’s power supply. (For this latter method
to work, the computer must be plugged in, though not turned on.) After
you’ve discharged your static, unplug the computer before proceeding to
the next step.
4.
Insert card into slot.
Remove the Layla24 card from its protective anti-
static bag. Handle the card carefully by its edges and insert it into the
selected expansion slot. Insure that the card’s edge connector (the
protruding edge with the gold leads) is seated firmly into the slot.
Centering the card over the slot and using a gentle rocking motion while
pushing downward into the slot generally works well. Be careful not to
force the card into the slot, or bend or twist it while it is being inserted, as
this could result in the card being damaged.
5.
Secure card to computer.
If there was one, use the screw removed
earlier from the protective back-plate to attach the metal bracket on the
