5 Mykerinos Installation

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Please read the following information very carefully before attempting any installation. Failure to comply with the

precise instructions may result in damage to your Merging hardware. Please read the entire chapter carefully

before installation.

STATIC DANGER NOTICE:

Please note that the Mykerinos Audio Board contains delicate electronic components that can be damaged or

even destroyed when exposed to static electricity. Please take all of the necessary precautions when handling the

Mykerinos board and all other PC computer cards.

Mykerinos Card Installation

Note: Note: for multiboard installation care must be taken in the selection of the PC

chassis components to ensure adequate thermal dissipation through sufficient fan air

cooling.

Inserting the Mykerinos Audio Board(s)

• Make sure the computer is turned off (and unplugged) before installing the Mykerinos board.

• To avoid the possibility of static electricity damage to the PC or the Mykerinos board(s) please use an anti-

static strap to connect yourself to a known good earth.

• Remove the computer covers required to gain access to the peripheral slots.

• Locate a free PCI (Mykerinos) or PCI-e (Mykerinos-X) slot. It is generally inadvisable to use the slot adjacent

to an AGP slot. Remove a slot / bracket for the chosen slot(s) (if needed)

• Insert the Mykerinos board(s) into the chosen slot(s)

• Ensure each Mykerinos is properly seated in the slot

• Fit any extra break-out connector brackets (if applicable)

• Fasten the mounting screw to secure the Mykerinos back-plate to the PC frame

Multi-board Installation

• For multiboard installation it is advisable to insert all Mykerinos boards in adjacent slots sharing the same

PCI bus segment. Please refer to PC motherboard documentation.

• In order to enable multi-board operation, all Mykerinos cards in the PC must to be connected together

using a special HDTDM ribbon cable with 30 pin plugs. This cable has to be plugged into the multi-pin

connectors located on the top edge of the I/O daughter cards. Please contact your Merging Technologies

Sales Partner for information on how to order the HDTDM ribbon cable.

Note: to reduce the risk of electro-magnetic interference being induced by other PCI

cards into the highly sensitive Mic Preamp circuitry, systems equipped with Merging’s

DUAL (Analog + AES) daughtercard are best installed in a slot with no other card

inserted in the immediately adjacent slot. (I.e. the component side of the card, which will

be on the left looking from the front of a conventional PC chassis.)
