To install the MacCon+ 30 or a MacCon3 IIsi in a Macintosh IIsi, per-
form the following steps:

Caution

Be very careful when you open the case and work inside the Mac-

Refer to your Macintosh User’s Guide for an illustrated description of
how to open your computer.

1

Power down the Macintosh. Disconnect and remove the
power cable.

Make sure you are grounded: check that your anti-static
wrist strap is properly attached to your wrist and to the
Macintosh chassis.

4

Plug the controller card into the expansion slot on the
motherboard.

5

Install the daughter card:

— Remove the screws on the daughter card bracket.

— Align the bracket so that the daughter card extends

down from the access port and the external cable con-
nectors protrude through the port.

— Secure the bracket with the screws.

6

Connect the controller card and daughter card:

— Attach the ribbon cable from the daughter card to the

controller card (see Figure 2-12).
