General Saturn Install Instructions

• Next, you need to remove the metal plate that covers the Sega
Saturn motherboard by

unscrewing the 8 screws that hold it

in

place. You will also need to temporarily disconnect the ribbon cable
connecting the controller board from the main motherboard. This
is located at the front of the console. Removing the metal shielding
is required because the plastic standoffs that the optical drive sat
on block the MODE PCB from being installed and the standoffs are
screwed from the underside. Please note the Saturn with the PSU
in the lid does not need the metal shielding removed as the pegs
can be removed from the top. Please do so now.
