Remove Processor Card
Taking care to not touch any components in the computer, grasp
the support bracket and the edge of the processor card opposite the
bracket as shown
(Figure 7). Using your thumbs, carefully pull up on
the edge of the processor card to separate it from the logic board, and
then take it out the computer. Set the card aside.
Install Encore/MDX G4 Duet Processor Upgrade Card
1. Remove the Encore/MDX G4 Duet processor upgrade card
from its anti-static package; make sure to handle the card by its
edges
(Figure 8). Note: The DIP switches on the top of the card
serve no purpose when the Duet is installed into Power Mac G4
(MDD) computers; moving the switches has no effect on the
card’s operation.
2. Carefully remove the cap covering the connector on the bottom
of the Duet card (Figure 9), and then place the cap on the origi-
nal processor card’s connector.
3. Place the processor card you removed from the computer into
the anti-static package, and then store it and the heat sink in a
safe place.
4. Note the location of the processor card connector on the logic
board, and the spring clips on the support bracket (Figure 10).
