Installation—Digital Audio Models
This section covers the installation of the Encore/ST G4 into Power
Mac G4 Digital Audio models (back panel appears like Figure 20).
If you are installing this product into an AGP Graphics or Gigabit
Ethernet model, go back to page 3. If you are installing this product
into a QuickSilver 2001 or QuickSilver 2002 model, skip to page 12.
Shut Down and Open Computer
1. Shut down your Power Mac. If the computer has been on, allow
20 minutes for it to completely cool before beginning the instal-
lation.
2. If you need to move the computer to a different area where you
can work freely, disconnect any connected cables, move the com-
puter, then reconnect the power cord.
3. Touch a port access cover on the back of the computer to dis-
charge any potential damaging static electricity (Figure 19).
4. Disconnect the power cord from the computer.
5. If present, remove the two indicated screws from the back plate
of the computer (Figure 20). Otherwise, go to step 6.
6. Locate the security lock at the back of the computer (Figure 21).
If it is not already pressed in, do so now.
7. With the right side of the case facing you, open your Power Mac
by lifting the release latch and lowering the side panel away from
the computer’s case (Figure 22).
WARNING: When handling computer products, take care to
prevent components from being damaged by static electricity;
avoid working in carpeted areas. Handle processor upgrade cards only
by their edges and avoid touching connector traces and component
pins.
Support Note: To avoid generating a static charge in your
body, do not walk around the room until after you finish
installing the Encore card and close the computer.
