15. If you are reinstalling any NuBus cards, first install a NuBus card into the
NuBus slot closest to the power supply. Then, align the video adapter
board over the middle NuBus slot on the logic board with the inverted
AV or HPV card on the adapter board facing toward the power supply
(Figure 42). Verify the adapter board lines up with the inline NuBus
guides of the 8100’s case. Gently press down on the adapter board (not
directly on the AV or HPV card) until the adapter board is firmly seated
in the middle NuBus slot. If you encounter excessive resistance, check for
bent connector pins, re-align the adapter board over the middle NuBus
slot, and gently press down again. If you have a second NuBus card to
install, install it into the outer NuBus slot.
16. Attach the connector on the video flex cable to the AV or HPV card
(Figure 43). Gently press down on the outer edges of the connector to
avoid pricking your fingers on the series of pins on top of the connector.
If necessary, use a piece of foam from the packaging material your card
shipped in to provide a cushion between your finger and the pins.
17. Return the computer to your computing area.
18. IMPORTANT! – Before replacing the cover onto your computer, attach
your monitor’s video cable to the AV or HPV card 15-pin monitor
connector (Figure 44). Secure the cable by tightening the thumbscrews
on the cable’s connector. Connecting the cable anchors the card in place
while replacing the cover.
19. Carefully replace the cover onto your computer by slanting the front
end of the cover over the computer, making sure the tabs on the back of
the cover slide inside the rear of the case (Figure 45). Finish sliding the
cover onto the computer until it is flush with the rear of the computer
(Figure 46). The video adapter board should be firmly in place and not
misaligned with the access port slot. If the adapter board appears
“tweaked” you will need to remove the cover and firmly align the
adapter board.
20. Once the cover is in place, tighten the four security screws on the back
of computer’s case.
21. Reconnect the power and peripheral cables to the computer.
22. Turn on your Power Macintosh. Your newly accelerated machine should
boot as normal.
