If your Macintosh will be connected to an Ethernet network, you will require:

• An unshielded twisted-pair (CAT 3-5 UTP) cable

System Software Compatibility:

• Compatible with System 7.1–Mac

OS 8.1.

Note: 

We recommend you make a backup of important information on your

hard drive prior to installing new hardware or software. When handling computer
products, you must take care to prevent components from being damaged by static
electricity. Avoid carpeted areas, handle cards only by their edges, and avoid touching
connector traces and component pins.

If you plan to upgrade to Mac OS 8, you will need to first install the Presto Plus.
For instructions on the installation of Mac OS 8, please refer to the separate
Mac OS 8 software installation instructions packaged with the Presto Plus.

1.

Insert the Presto diskette into the floppy disk drive. Double-click
the Presto Installer icon. By default the software will be installed
on the boot drive. If this is ok then click ‘Install’; otherwise, select
another drive and click ‘Install’. If the installation was successful, a
dialog box will appear. Click ‘Quit’ to leave the installer or click
‘Continue’ to perform additional installations.

The Presto Installer will install the following items:

• 

‘Presto’ will be placed into the Extensions Folder.

• ‘

Presto 7 Enabler’ will be placed into the System Folder.

• ‘Presto 8 Enabler’ will be placed into the System Folder.
• ‘Metronome’ will be placed into the Apple Menu Items Folder.

2.

Shut down your Macintosh. If the computer has been on for any
length of time, wait a few minutes for it to cool before beginning
the installation.

3.

Open your Macintosh by first unscrewing the two security screws on the
back of the case 

(Figure 1) 

with a medium head Philips screwdriver.

4.

Unlatch the back panel 

(Figure 2) 

from the rear of the computer.

5.

Remove the PDS access cover port from the back panel 

(Figure 3)

.

6.

Unpack everything you will need from the packaging box that contains
the Presto Plus card. Close the box. The box will be used as a relatively
soft installation surface to protect the components underneath the
logic board.

7.

Slide the logic board out of the computer 

(Figure 4). 

8.

Place the logic board on the packaging box 

(Figure 5

). Locate the PDS 

slot 

(Figure 5)
