Installing Asanté MacCon Cards

2-23

5

Take out the motherboard:

— Lift the grounding shield (padded aluminum sheet) cov-

ering the motherboard.

— Disconnect the power supply cable and the drive cables

on the component side of the motherboard.

Caution

Be careful not to pull the wires out; pull only on the con-
nectors only, not on the bundled wires.

— Gently take out the motherboard and lay it down, com-

ponent side up.

— Remove the speaker wire connection to J11 (the speaker

wire) on the motherboard.

6

Plug the larger MacCon+ controller card into the expan-
sion slot on the motherboard:

— Plug the 96-pin edge connector on the controller card in-

to the expansion slot so that the card lies on top, parallel
to the motherboard (see Figure 2-16).

— Gently press on the card until the connector is fully seated.

— Snap the standoffs on the side of the card into place to

keep the card from touching the motherboard.

7

Attach the smaller MacCon+ daughter card to the back of
the Macintosh SE:

— Remove the two screws from the bracket on the daugh-

ter card.

— Attach the card to the chassis bracket that lines up with

the expansion card connector access port on the back
cover of the Macintosh.

— Secure the daughter card, with the printed circuit side

facing up, to the chassis using the two screws.

— Re-attach the speaker wire (see Figure 2-16).

8

Route the ribbon cable from the smaller daughter card to
the larger controller card, keeping it flat at all times.
