5. Hardware Installation<br />
Before installing the PCI card, please make sure the computer is switched off and the<br />
power cable is disconnected from the mains supply. Inserting or removing a PCI card while<br />
the computer is in operation can cause irreparable damage to both motherboard and card!<br />
1. Disconnect the power cord and all other cables from the computer.<br />
2. Remove the computer's housing. Further information on how to do this can be obtained<br />
from your computer´s instruction manual.<br />
3. Important: Before removing the H<strong>DSP</strong> <strong>9632</strong> from its protective bag, discharge any static in<br />
your body by touching the metal chassis of the PC.<br />
4. Prior to installation: Connect the H<strong>DSP</strong> <strong>9632</strong> card to any Expansion Board (if present) using<br />
the supplied flat ribbon cable. Please read the Expansion Board's manual for more details.<br />
5. Insert the H<strong>DSP</strong> <strong>9632</strong> firmly into a free PCI slot, press and fasten the screw.<br />
6. If present, insert the Expansion Board(s) and fasten the screw(s).<br />
7. Replace the computer's housing.<br />
8. Reconnect all cables including the power cord.<br />
6. Hardware - Connectors<br />
6.1 External Connectors<br />
The bracket of the<br />
H<strong>DSP</strong> <strong>9632</strong> has one<br />
ADAT optical input<br />
and output, a 9-pin<br />
and a 15-pin D-type<br />
socket. The included<br />
breakout cable provides<br />
all the analog<br />
and digital connections.<br />
The ADAT I/O can also be used as optical SPDIF I/O, if set up accordingly in the Settings<br />
dialog.<br />
The 9-pin digital breakout cable has two RCA connectors as coaxial SPDIF I/O. The red<br />
phono socket is the output. The breakout cable BO968 (option) has the same RCA connectors,<br />
but adds an XLR AES/EBU input and output.<br />
The 15-pin analog breakout cable has four RCA connectors (stereo analog I/O), a 1/4" TRS<br />
jack (headphones), and two 5-pin DIN connectors (MIDI I/O). Using the optional analog XLR<br />
breakout cable BO<strong>9632</strong>-XLRMKH, the H<strong>DSP</strong> <strong>9632</strong> offers balanced Line inputs and outputs via<br />
female and male XLR connectors.<br />
Optional H<strong>DSP</strong> <strong>9632</strong> Word Clock Module<br />
The expansion board H<strong>DSP</strong> <strong>9632</strong> Word Clock Module provides one word clock input and two<br />
word clock outputs. A green LED signals the LOCK state of the word clock input stage. A small<br />
push switch allows to activate 75 Ohm termination for the word clock input. The yellow LED is<br />
lit when termination is active.<br />
Optional Analog Expansion Boards AI4S-192 and AO4S-192<br />
These expansion boards increase the number of available channels by four balanced analog<br />
inputs and outputs respectively. Thus the H<strong>DSP</strong> <strong>9632</strong> turns into an I/O solution with eight<br />
channels ADAT, two channels SPDIF and six channels analog, a sum of 16 channels in and<br />
out. Although not being limited to 96 kHz, the name '19232' did not convince anyone at <strong>RME</strong>.<br />
