Installing the hardware
Important:
The instructions below are general guidelines for hardware
installation. It is important to consult your
Macintosh PowerBook
User’s Manual
before
installing the PB 1400 Ethernet Card. In your
PowerBook manual, look for the section called “Installing Expansion
Cards.” This section will give you specific instructions for opening
your PowerBook, installing a card in the expansion slot, and
reassembling the computer.
Farallon recommends that this card should be installed by an
authorized Apple reseller. If you damage the computer while installing
a computer component, the damage will not be covered by the
computer’s warranty.
1.
Begin by powering down your PowerBook according to the
instructions in your PowerBook manual.
2.
Disconnect all the cables attached to the computer.
3.
Remove the computer’s battery.
Important:
If you don’t remove the battery and disconnect the cables
before you install the card, you might damage your computer.
4.
Open the door that covers the ports on the computer’s back
panel.
5.
Using a standard screw driver, remove the cover over the
expansion slot port.
6.
Remove the speaker grill (located just above the keyboard). Slide
the grill to the left to remove it.
7.
Remove the keyboard. Insert your fingers under the top of the
keyboard and gently flip it face down so the area beneath it is
exposed.
