OPENING THE G3/4 CASE
Ground yourself — Many electronic components inside the Power Macintosh case
and on the GigaNIX card can be severely damaged by receiving a shock of static
electricity. Before touching any electronic components or boards, discharge any static
electricity on your body by touching the bare metal case around the power supply
inside you Mac.
While installing the GigaNIX card, avoid generating additional static electricity by
not walking across a carpet or other static generating areas. If you have to leave the
area at any point during the installation, be sure to ground yourself again before
going on.
Assess system power requirements —If you have one or more other PCI cards
already in your Mac, you may want to take a moment to make sure that your system
is able to provide necessary power to support the addition of the GigaNIX Interface
card.
