Additional Procedures Battery Replacement - 5 2 3 Grasp the battery and remove it from the holder. Return the battery to Apple for proper disposal. For battery packaging and labeling instructions, refer to the safety information in Bulletins/Safety.
Additional Procedures Battery Holder Board - 6 Battery Holder Board Lithium Batteries Before you begin, remove the following: • Cover • Drive mount • Logic board Note: This procedure explains how to install a battery holder board in a Macintosh II or IIx. Before you change batteries in a Macintosh II or IIx without a battery holder, install the holder.
Additional Procedures Battery Holder Board - 7 If handled or discarded improperly, the lithium batteries in the computer could explode. Review battery handling and disposal instructions in Bulletins/Safety. ±Warning: Caution: Review the ESD precautions in Bulletins/ Safety.
Additional Procedures Battery Holder Board - 8 1 2 If the battery is soldered to the logic board, use wire clippers to cut the battery leads. Leave the lead wires long enough so you can pull them out of the logic board when you melt the solder holding them in place. Return the battery to Apple for proper disposal. For battery packaging and labeling instructions, refer to Bulletins/Safety.
Additional Procedures Battery Holder Board - 9 3 Soldering Iron Battery Connection 4 Solder Side Caution: Use a 50-watt (or less) soldering iron. Excessive heat may damage the logic board. Desolder the four battery connections from the underside of the logic board. Caution: Do not force the connections free or you may remove the copper traces from the board. Remove the wire from each hole and clear the hole of solder.
Additional Procedures Battery Holder Board - 10 5 Battery Holder Board 6 Caution: Be sure to insert the positive side of the battery holder board into the two positive-marked holes on the logic board. A wrong orientation may damage the logic board. Insert the battery holder board. Make sure the battery holder board is flush with the logic board. Solder the battery holder board in place.

Additional Procedures Macintosh IIfx SCSI Termination - 12 Macintosh IIfx SCSI Termination SCSI Cable Terminator II SCSI Device No preliminary steps are required before you begin this procedure.
Additional Procedures Macintosh IIfx SCSI Termination - 13 External SCSI Devices SCSI Cable Terminator II SCSI Device The SCSI Cable Terminator II provides proper termination for external SCSI devices attached to a Macintosh IIfx computer. If an external device has built-in termination, you must disable the built-in terminator and install the SCSI Cable Terminator II.
Additional Procedures Macintosh IIfx SCSI Termination - 14 Caution: Never install more than one SCSI Cable Terminator II on a Macintosh IIfx SCSI daisy chain or you could damage the equipment.
Additional Procedures Macintosh IIfx SCSI Termination - 15 Internal Hard Drives SCSI Filter Hard Drive Data Cable Connector Hard Drive The internal SCSI filter provides proper termination capacitance for third-party drives and Apple internal hard drives that shipped before March 19, 1990. Connect the SCSI filter between the hard drive data cable and the connector on the hard drive.
Additional Procedures Macintosh IIfx SCSI Termination - 16 Caution: When you install an internal hard drive in a system that shipped without a drive, you must connect the SCSI filter to the drive. Connecting the filter directly to the logic board will cause SCSI failures.
Additional Procedures Macintosh IIfx SCSI Termination - 17 SCSI Termination Block SCSI Filter SCSI Connector Logic Board Systems without an Internal Hard Drive The SCSI termination block and internal SCSI filter provide proper termination for systems without an internal hard drive. All Macintosh IIfx computers that shipped without internal hard drives have the termination block and SCSI filter attached to the logic board SCSI connector.
