AV/HPV Card Video Adapter Kit – Power Macintosh

7100 Installation

1. Shut down your Power Macintosh. If the computer has been on for

any length of time, wait a few minutes for it to cool before beginning

the installation.

2. Disconnect the power and peripheral cables from the back of the

computer and move it to an area where you can freely work.

3. Open your Power Macintosh by ﬁrst loosening the security screw

(Figure 2) on the back of the case with a large ﬂatblade screwdriver;

then, gently slide the case cover off the computer.

4.Turn over the cover and locate the large cutout in the support framing

(Figure 3). This cutout provides the necessary clearance required for the

adapter kit to ﬁt inside the computer. Take care when removing and

replacing the cover onto your computer to prevent damaging the

adapter’s video ﬂex cable as it ﬁts into this cutout.

5. Set the cover aside.

6. Identify the internal components of your computer (Figure 4). Touch

the power supply metal shielding to discharge any potential damaging

static electricity.

Support Note:

IMPORTANT! –

The video adapter board installs into

the middle NuBus slot since it aligns with the proper clearance in the

support framing of the computer's case. The video adapter board uses the

middle NuBus slot as a holder; it does not convert your AV or HPV card into a

NuBus card.

We recommend that you make a backup of important information on your hard

drive prior to installing new hardware or software. When handling computer

products, you must take care to prevent components from being damaged by

static electricity. Avoid carpeted areas, handle processor upgrade cards only by

their edges, and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.
