CHAPTER 2
Installation
Refer to the QuickStart Guide
Software installation and removal for each of the various platforms and oper-
ating systems has its own particular procedures. Please refer to the QuickStart
Guide documentation that is included in the software bundle and the support
pages on our website for complete instructions on how to install and remove
the software on each system.
The QuickStart Guide can be found on the software CD-ROM and it is placed
into the Powered Plug-Ins Tools folder during software installation. The Quick-
Start Guide, and other important technical information, is online at:

Install Software First
For best results, the Powered Plug-Ins software should be installed before
installing the UAD card. See the QuickStart Guide for instructions. Instructions
for hardware installation follows in a following section.
UAD-Xpander
The UAD-Xpander has its own set of hardware instructions. Refer to the UAD-
Xpander.pdf manual for instructions on how to install the UAD-Xpander.
About PCI and PCI Express
PCI or PCI-X should not be confused with PCI Express (also known as PCIe).
PCIe is not compatible with PCI or PCI-X because PCIe uses a completely dif-
ferent connector.
UAD-1 and UAD-1e
Note: IMPORTANT! The UAD-1 will ONLY work in PCI and PCI-X slots, and
the UAD-1e will ONLY work in PCIe slots.
However, if a computer system has both PCI/PCI-X and PCIe slots, the UAD–1
and UAD–1e can both be installed and used simultaneously as a multicard
system. The UAD drivers are the same for both cards.
