7. Locate the PDS slot (Figure 5). If there is a PDS card installed (such as
the Apple AV or HPV card or Sonnet Crescendo card), remove it and set
it aside.
8. Locate the NuBus slots (Figure 5). If any NuBus cards are installed,
temporarily remove them so you have better clearance for installing the
video adapter board. If you have three NuBus cards in your computer,
you will only be able to reinstall two of them. The middle NuBus slot is
required for the adapter board.
9. Determine if you have an AV or HPV card as follows:
• AV Card – The AV card has a single 15-pin monitor connector for a
monitor and S-Video In and S-Video Out ports (Figure 6) that support
Audio/Video features.
• HPV Card – The HPV (High Performance Video) card has a single
15-pin monitor connector for a monitor and four onboard Video RAM
(VRAM) slots (Figure 7).
10. Before attaching the AV or HPV card to the video adapter board, you
need to bend the metal tab 90° at the end of the AV card (Figure 8) or
HPV card (Figure 9) with a small flatblade screwdriver so it fits in its
new location.
