Apple Sonic Blaster Computer Hardware User Manual


 
CHAPTER Two
Putting It In
1.) TURN OFF THE APPLE’S POWER SWITCH. Never
install or remove a card while the computer is on.
However, you need to leave the computer plugged in
throughout the installation to allow the power supply to
discharge static electricity from your body.
2.) Remove the cover from the Apple. Press in the two
latches in the rear of the case with your forefingers
while using the heel of your hand to pull the lid up and
towards you. (See below.)
3.) Touch the power supply to remove any static electricity
from your body. Do not skip this step! A static shock
can damage the chips on your card and/or the chips on
your computer’s motherboard.
Remove the IIGS cover Touch the power supply case
4.) Remove the plastic plate from the backplane if it still
covers the large opening closest to the slot in which you
plan to install the Sonic Blaster. If this opening is
already being used, you may need to do some
rearranging; the hole must be close enough to the card
for the SBs backplate connector to reach.
