Installing the Avid NuBus Cards
Install the Avid NuBus cards in the appropriate slots in the Expansion Chassis. The
following sections describe the NuBus card layouts for each Macintosh.
▲
Before handling the NuBus cards, always discharge any static electricity by
touching a grounded metal surface such as the Expansion Chassis case. Handle
the cards by their edges and never touch the connector pins or components.
Before you install the NuBus cards:
1. Shut down the Macintosh.
2. Power off the Expansion Chassis and the Macintosh.
▲
Your system may not contain all of the NuBus cards shown in the tables. Leave
the slots for any cards that you don’t have empty.
Installing Power Macintosh 8100 NuBus Cards
To install the Avid NuBus cards for a Power Macintosh 8100:
1. Determine which NuBus cards you’ll be installing in each slot in the Expansion
Chassis using Table 3.
2. Remove the slot cover from the rear of each slot that you are going to use. Push
the slot cover out from inside the chassis.
3. Install each NuBus card into its slot. Align the connector on the NuBus board
in the Expansion Chassis and the connector on the NuBus card. Apply a gentle
downward force until the card seats in the connector.
4. Attach the ribbon cable(s) that interconnect the two- or three-card JPEG set.
