Cards fit into slots on the computer’s logic board, the board that holds the
components that make your computer work. There are three types of slots on
your computer’s logic board, each labeled on the board:

m

a communication slot for an internal modem or an Ethernet card

m

a video-in slot for a card that brings signals into the computer from a
videocassette recorder (VCR), laserdisc player, video camera, or similar
device

m

an LC-compatible 68030 processor-direct slot (PDS) for most other cards

Note: The process you use to install a TV tuner card is different from the one
described in this appendix. See the documentation that came with that card
for instructions.

WARNING

To avoid damaging your computer and expansion card, do not

attempt to install any expansion card without first checking the
documentation for that card. If the documentation specifies that an
Apple-certified technician must install the card (usually because
the installation requires special training or tools), consult the service
and support information that came with your computer for instructions
on how to contact an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple for
assistance. If you attempt to install the card yourself, any damage you
may cause to the computer or card will not be covered by the limited
warranty on your computer. If the card is not an Apple-labeled product,
check with an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider to see if you
can install it yourself.
