As you install hardware components, observe the following general precautions to avoid damage to your equipment and yourself. · To 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 computer's power off. Unplug the computer's power cable to make sure that the computer is not in sleep mode. · Take 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 "static". 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: · Avoid any unnecessary movement, such as scuffing your feet when handling electronic devices, since most movement can generate additional charges of static electricity. · 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. · When handling a PCI card, avoid touching its connector pins. Try to handle the board by its edges only. · 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.

Touch a metal plate on your computer to ground yourself and to discharge any static electricity, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. 3. Remove the computer cover. PCI slots 4. Remove the metal bracket from one PCI slot. If you have the E-MU 1212m system or are installing the Sync Daughter Card you'll need to remove the bracket from two PCI slots. See the figure at left. ISA slots Step 2: Install the E-MU 1010 PCI card 1. Align the E-MU 1010 PCI card with the slot and press gently but firmly down into the slot as shown in the figure opposite. 2. Do not force the E-MU 1010 card into the slot. Make sure that the gold finger connector of the card is aligned with the PCI bus connector on the motherboard before you insert the card into the PCI slot. If it doesn't fit properly, gently remove it and try again. 3. Secure the card to the slot using a screw (if necessary).

Seat the connector firmly in the socket and arrange the cable neatly. 2. Secure the E-MU Sync Daughter card into the slot next to the E-MU 1010 card, using a second screw (if necessary). 3. Replace the cover to your computer. 4. Plug the power cord and your peripheral devices into your computer and turn on your computer. 5. Go to Section 3 - Software Installation on page 6. Optional Sync Daughter Card 4 - E-MU PCI Digital Audio System EMU QS(En).fm Page 5 Thursday, October 26, 2006 11:09 AM Step 5: Connecting the MicroDock to the E-MU 1010 Card Connect the supplied network-type cable from the RJ-45 jack on the E-MU 1010 PCI card labeled "EDI" to the matching connector labeled "EDI" on the MicroDock. The cable type is a standard CAT 5e network cable which is specially shielded to prevent RF emissions. Contact E-MU Systems if you need a replacement cable. CAUTION: Do not connect the supplied CAT 5e cable to the Ethernet or network connector on your computer. Doing so may result in permanent damage to either your computer, the E-MU 1010 or both. Supplying Power to the MicroDock The MicroDock is powered from the supplied +48VDC Adapter. Connect the Adapter to the jack marked +48VDC on the back panel of the MicroDock. Turn the MicroDock on by turning the Headphone Volume control up. +48V DC Adapter 48 VDC + - 1010 PCI Card EDI The Headphone Volume Control is also the Power Switch.

Windows XP, Windows 2000, x64 (The software is not compatible with other versions of Windows.) 1. After you have installed your audio card, turn on your computer. Windows automatically detects your audio card and searches for device drivers. 2. When prompted for the audio drivers, click the Cancel button. 3. Insert the E-MU software Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. If Windows AutoPlay mode is enabled for your CD-ROM drive, the CD starts running automatically. If not, from your Windows desktop, click Start->Run and type d:setup.exe (replace d:\ with the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive). You can also simply open the CD and double-click Setup.exe. 4. The installation splash screen appears. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation. 5. Choose "Continue Anyway" when you encounter the "Windows Logo Testing" warning screen. 6. When prompted, restart your computer. Uninstalling all Audio Drivers and Applications At times you may need to uninstall or reinstall some or all of the audio card's applications and device drivers to correct problems, change configurations, or upgrade outdated drivers or applications. Before you begin, close all audio card applications. Applications still running during the uninstallation will not be removed. 1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel. 2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon. 3. Click the Install/Uninstall tab (or Change or Remove Programs button). 4. Select the E-MU 1010 PCI card entry, or the application entry and then click the Add/Remove (or Change/Remove) button. 5. In the InstallShield Wizard dialog box, select the Remove option. 6. Click the Yes button. 7. Restart your computer when prompted. 8. You may now re-install existing or updated E-MU 1010 PCI card device drivers or applications. 6 - E-MU PCI Digital Audio System EMU QS(En).fm Page 7 Thursday, October 26, 2006 11:09 AM 4 - E-MU 1010 PCI Card & Interface The E-MU 1010 PCI card is the heart of the system and contains E-MU's powerful E-DSP chip. The powerful hardware DSP on this card leaves more power free on your CPU for additional software plug-ins and other tasks. Connections EDI EDI Connector Connects to the MicroDock using EDI (E-MU Digital Interface) cable. This cable provides a two-way data link between the E-MU 1010 and the MicroDock. Each RCA phono jack carries two channels of digital audio. S/PDIF digital I/O can be used for the reception and/or transmission of digital data from external digital devices such as a DAT machine, an external analog-to-digital converter or an external signal processor equipped with digital inputs and outputs. The embedded clock contained in the input data stream can be used as a clock source for the 1010. The S/PDIF out can be configured in either Professional or Consumer mode, always with 24-bits of resolution. Important: S/PDIF I/O is disabled on the 1010 PCI when the MicroDock is connected. The ADAT optical connectors transmit and receive 8 channels of 24-bit audio using the ADAT type 1 & 2 formats (at 44.1kHz or 48kHz). The embedded clock contained in the input data stream can be used as a clock source for the 1010. The ADAT optical ports can also be switched to carry optical S/PDIF . ADAT can also be transmitted and received at 96kHz or 192kHz using the S/MUX standard which encodes the extra data onto multiple channels. Important: ADAT I/O is disabled on the 1010 PCI when the MicroDock is connected.

The I/O daughter card provides the analog inputs, outputs, and MIDI interface for E-MU digital audio systems which don't include the MicroDock. The I/O Daughter card takes up one extra space on the back panel of your computer, and connects to the E-MU 1010 PCI card via an internal 40-pin ribbon cable. Connections The inputs can be connected to any line level stereo signal from a keyboard, CD-player, cassette deck, etc. (The analog inputs are assigned to mixer strips in the PatchMix DSP mixer application.) Left / Right Line Inputs Analog Inputs and Outputs Left / Right Line Outputs The outputs can feed any line level input such as a mixing board, the auxiliary input on your stereo, or a set of powered speakers. Either TRS balanced or TS unbalanced cables can be used. Balanced cables provide better noise immunity and +6dB higher signal level. The output line level can be set to accommodate the consumer -10dBV standard, or the pro audio +4 dBu standard in the I/O screen of the Session Settings dialog box. The MIDI input and o ...
