ASUS Xonar D2X

3. Installing the Xonar Hardware

3.1 Preparing Your Computer

Before you proceed with the following installation steps, it’s recommended that you

disable your onboard audio device in your BIOS settings, or uninstall any other

sound cards on your PC. (For BIOS setting or uninstallation of other sound cards,

refer to the user manuals of your motherboard and sound card)

1. Power off your computer and disconnect the power cord.

2. Open the computer’s case.

3. Remove the metal brackets from one unused PCI Express x1 slot for the

audio card and its adjacent slot for the MIDI board (You can just remove one

if you don’t need to use the MIDI board in the package).

3.2 Installing the Audio Processing Card

1. Face the bracket of the Xonar D2X audio card toward the back panel of your

computer and insert the audio card gently into an available PCI Express

slot. Make sure it’s completely inserted into the PCI Express slot. (Warning!

Do not force the audio card into the slot. Make sure that the gold pins of

the card's PCI Express connector are aligned with the motherboard’s PCI

Express connector before you insert the card into the PCI Express slot. If it

does not fit properly, gently remove it and try again.)
