Preparing a PS/2 Reference Diskette
==================================
If you have an older PS/2 system, prepare a backup copy of your PS/2 system
Reference Diskette before you install the SoundPiper card. Then copy the
file @5130.ADF from this diskette to the backup copy Reference Diskette.
You'll need this backup diskette to configure your system after you've
installed the SoundPiper card.
Installing the SoundPiper
=========================
1. If you have been using your system, turn your computer off.
2. Remove the computer's cover.
3. Select the expansion slot where you will install the SoundPiper.
4. Remove the blank expansion slot cover from the computer back panel
at the position where you will install the SoundPiper.
5. Insert the SoundPiper card into the selected system expansion slot.
6. Connect the internal CD-ROM audio cable if appropriate.
7. Replace the cover on the system unit.
8. Connect the appropriate interface cables between the SoundPiper
connectors and your sound output (speakers) or input (microphone) devices.
9. Turn the computer on. If you have an older PS/2 system, use the backup
copy of your Reference Diskette you prepared earlier for startup. Run
the automatic configuration option in the 'Set Configuration' program.
If you have a newer system, the program, supplied on your hard disk,
will start automatically. The SoundPiper hardware installation is complete.
