Attaching the Power Pigtail
If you have an Expansion Chassis that is at revision level E, F, or G, you must
install a new power pigtail to properly connect the power harness from the 3D
Effects cover. The revision E, F, and G chassis do not have the correct power
attachment points.

If you have an Expansion Chassis that is at revision level H or later, skip to
“Connecting the Power Harness” on page 58.
Removing NuBus Boards
Before you can connect the power pigtail you must remove any NuBus cards that
are already in the Expansion Chassis. To remove the NuBus cards:
1. Disconnect all the cables from the NuBus cards installed in the chassis. Make a
list noting the location of all the cables so that you can reconnect them correctly
when you complete installing the 3D Effects cover. 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.
2. Write down the position of each NuBus card in the chassis.
3. Remove all the NuBus cards from the chassis. Gently rock each card back and
forth to loosen it from the NuBus connector. Set the cards aside on an antistatic
surface.
Connecting the Pigtail to the Power Supply
The 3D Effects boards get their power from the power supply in the Expansion
Chassis. To connect the power pigtail for the 3D Effects boards to the power
supply:
1. Locate the white power connector labeled Python in the chassis (see Figure 40).
