17. 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 20). Verify the adapter board lines up with the inline NuBus
guides of the 7100’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.
18. Attach the connector on the video flex cable to the AV or HPV card
(Figure 21). 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.
19. Return the computer to your computing area.
20. 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 22). Secure the cable by tightening the thumbscrews
on the cable’s connector. Connecting the cable anchors the card in place
while replacing the cover.
21. Turn over the cover and locate the large cutout in the support framing
(Figure 23). This cutout provides the necessary clearance required for
the video adapter board 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.
22. Carefully replace the cover onto your computer by slanting the front
end of the cover over the computer (Figure 24). Confirm the inner
grooves of the bottom of the case align with the tabs in the cover. As
you slide back the cover, the top of the video adapter board and
attached flex cable should fit nicely into the cutout of the cover. When
the cutout of the cover clears the connector, you can lower
the cover into place.
