(a) Sound Blaster X-Fi
audio card
(d) Power splitter cable

may need to install the provided shunt
onto Jumper JP1 of your X-Fi I/O Drive.
By default, your X-Fi I/O Drive is set for
use with most condenser and dynamic

To prevent permanent damage, use
only the AD_EXT cable with the
AD_EXT connector, and the X-Fi
audio card with the X-Fi I/O Drive.
Do not force any cable into a
connector. This can cause permanent
damage to your hardware.
