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.

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.
