Powering Off the Macintosh and Disconnecting Peripherals
To power off the Macintosh:
1. Choose Shut Down from the Special menu.
2. Turn off the power to any peripherals connected to the Macintosh.
3. Disconnect all the cables from the NuBus cards installed in the Macintosh.
Note the location of all the cables so that you can reconnect them correctly
when you complete installing the Expansion Chassis. The cables should have
labels to identify where they connect. If they don’t, attach a label containing the
connector name before you remove the cable.

Later in this installation, you’ll move the Avid NuBus cards that are currently in
the Macintosh to the NuBus slots in the Expansion Chassis.
Using the Grounding Wrist-Strap
Your Avid system ships with a reusable grounding wrist-strap. To prevent any dam-
age to the Macintosh, the Expansion Chassis, the interface card, or any of the
NuBus cards, you must wear the wrist-strap when handling the cards or connecting
cables.

Put on the grounding wrist-strap now before you handle any cards or connect the
interface cable to the interface card. Make sure that you do not take off the wrist-
strap until you have completed all the procedures this chapter.
Removing the Macintosh Cover
You need to remove the cover from the Macintosh to install the Expansion Chassis
interface card and connect the interface cable. The following sections describe how
to remove the covers from the Power Macintosh 8100, Quadra 900/950, or
Quadra 650.
