Remove Level 2 Cache Card from
8600 Models
If your Power Macintosh 8600 contains a Level 2
cache card, remove it. If you are uncertain about
whether you have a cache card, or where it might be
located, consult your computer’s documentation or
see Chapter 12, “Removing a Level 2 Cache Card.”
For the Power Macintosh 96XX, the L2 cache is sol-
dered onto the logic board and cannot be removed.
Reset CUDA Switch
Reset the CUDA switch on the logic board

toward the rear of the computer. Resetting this
switch ensures that a new processor upgrade
installed into your computer is recognized at the
next startup.
