Installation—Digital Audio Models

This section covers the installation of the Encore/ST G4 into Power Mac G4

Digital Audio models (back panel appears like Figure 20). If you are installing this

product into an AGP Graphics or Gigabit Ethernet model, go back to page 3. If

you are installing this product into a QuickSilver 2001 model, skip to page 10.

Support Note:

When handling computer products, take care to prevent

components from being damaged by static electricity; avoid working in

carpeted areas. Handle processor upgrade cards only by their edges and avoid

touching connector traces and component pins.

Shut Down and Open Computer

1. Shut down your Power Mac. If the computer has been on, allow 20 minutes

for it to completely cool before beginning the installation.

2. If you need to move the computer to a different area where you can work

freely, disconnect any connected cables, move the computer, then reconnect

the power cord.

3. Touch a port access cover on the back of the computer to discharge any

potential damaging static electricity (Figure 19).

4. Disconnect the power cord from the computer.

Support Note:

To avoid generating a static charge in your body, do not

walk around the room until after you finish installing the Encore/ST card

and close the computer.

5. If present, remove the two indicated screws from the back plate of the com-

puter (Figure 20). Otherwise, go to step 6.

6. Locate the security lock at the back of the computer (Figure 21). If it is not

already pressed in, do so now.

7. With the right side of the case facing you, open your Power Mac by lifting

the release latch and lowering the side panel away from the computer's case

(Figure 22).
