The Cuda Chip

The Cuda is a microcontroller chip. Its function is to

• Turn system power on and off

• Manage system resets from various commands

• Maintain parameter RAM (PRAM)

• Manage the Apple Desktop Bus (ADB)

• Manage the real-time clock

Many system problems can be resolved by resetting the Cuda chip (see Symptom Charts for examples). Press the Cuda reset button on the logic board to reset the Cuda chip. (See "Logic Board Diagram" later in this chapter to locate the Cuda reset button.) If you continue to experience system problems, refer to "Resetting the Logic Board" later in this Basics chapter.
