AV/HPV Card Video Adapter Kit – Power Macintosh
7100 Installation
1. Shut down your Power Macintosh. If the computer has been on for
any length of time, wait a few minutes for it to cool before beginning
the installation.
2. Disconnect the power and peripheral cables from the back of the
computer and move it to an area where you can freely work.
3. Open your Power Macintosh by first loosening the security screw
(Figure 2) on the back of the case with a large flatblade screwdriver;
then, gently slide the case cover off the computer.
4. Turn over the cover and locate the large cutout in the support framing
(Figure 3). This cutout provides the necessary clearance required for the
adapter kit to fit inside the computer. Take care when removing and
replacing the cover onto your computer to prevent damaging the
adapter’s video flex cable as it fits into this cutout.
5. Set the cover aside.
6. Identify the internal components of your computer (Figure 4). Touch
the power supply metal shielding to discharge any potential damaging
static electricity.

Support Note: IMPORTANT! – The video adapter board installs into
the middle NuBus slot since it aligns with the proper clearance in the
support framing of the computer's case. The video adapter board uses the
middle NuBus slot as a holder; it does not convert your AV or HPV card into a
NuBus card.
We recommend that 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 processor upgrade cards only by
their edges, and avoid touching connector traces and component pins.
