Appendix B

Installing an Expansion Card

You can install printed circuit boards (called cards) for video and graphics applications, networking and communications, additional processing power, or other purposes. The cards fit into connectors, called expansion slots, inside the computer.

Your Macintosh has three expansion slots, each designed to accept a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) card. Install only expansion cards that come with Macintosh drivers and are compliant with the PCI 2.0 standard. NuBuscards cannot be used in these expansion slots.

WARNING To avoid damaging your computer and expansion card, do not attempt to install any expansion card without first checking the documentation for that card. If the documentation specifies that an Apple-certified technician must install the card (usually because the installation requires special training or tools), consult the service and support information that came with your computer for instructions on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for assistance. If you attempt to install the card yourself, any damage you may cause to the computer or card will not be covered by the limited warranty on your computer. If the card is not an Apple-labeled product, check with an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider to see if you can install it yourself.
