Appendix B Reinstalling the PC Compatibility Card in Your Power Macintosh 7300 Computer

If you have removed your PC Compatibility Card from your Power Macintosh 4400 computer and want to reinstall it, see the PC Compatibility Card Update that came with your computer.

WARNING Do not install the card that came installed in your Power Macintosh 4400 into any other computer. Using this card in another computer could damage the system or cause random crashes. Only a Power Macintosh 4400 model can accommodate the power consumption of this card. (You can install the card from a Power Macintosh 7300 computer into other models).

If you have removed your PC Compatibility Card from your Power Macintosh 7300 computer and want to reinstall it, follow the instructions in this appendix. (To remove the card, first follow the instructions on how to open the computer, expansion card cover, and chassis in this appendix; then see Appendix A.)

IMPORTANT If you will be installing a PC Serial and Parallel Card with your PC Compatibility Card, it’s easiest to install both cards at the same time. The PC Serial and Parallel Card has standard PC ports that allow you to use several kinds of PC-compatible peripherals from the Windows or DOS environment (not from the Mac OS environment). Instructions in this chapter indicate when to see your PC Serial and Parallel Card manual for installation information.
