Safety First!
As you install hardware components, observe the following general precautions to avoid damage to your equipment and
yourself.
YTo avoid possible permanent damage to your hardware, make sure that all connections are made to the E-MU 1010
card and the MicroDock with the host computerOs power off.
Unplug the computerOs power cable to make sure that the computer is not in sleep mode.
YTake care to avoid static damage to any components of your system. Internal computer surfaces, the E-MU 1010 PCI
board and the interfaces are susceptible to electrostatic discharge, commonly known as Ostatic�. Electrostatic
discharge can damage or destroy electronic devices. Here are some procedures you can follow when handling
electronic devices in order to minimize the possibility of causing electrostatic damage:
YAvoid any unnecessary movement, such as scufŢng your feet when handling electronic devices, since most
movement can generate additional charges of static electricity.
Y Minimize the handling of the PCI card. Keep it in its static-free package until needed. Transport or store the board
only in its protective package.
Y When handling a PCI card, avoid touching its connector pins. Try to handle the board by its edges only.
Y Before installing a PCI card into your computer, you should be grounded. Use a ground strap to discharge any static
electric charge built up on your body. The ground strap attaches to your wrist and any unpainted metal surface
within your computer.
Y Before connecting a cable to your interface or between PCI cards, touch the connector sleeve of the cable to the
sleeve of the jack to which youOll be connecting the cable in order to discharge any static build-up.
