Installing the Card in a Power Macintosh 8500 or 9500

6

Pull out the metal access port cover behind the expansion slot closest to the center of
the computer.

It’s recommended that you install your PC Compatibility Card in the first slot
(the one closest to the center of the computer). But if a card is already installed
in the first slot, you can install the PC Compatibility Card in another slot.

What you do next depends on whether you want to add a DIMM (dual inline
memory module) to your PC Compatibility Card to increase the amount of
RAM available to the card. The card comes with RAM installed, but adding
more memory may improve the performance of your PC applications.

If you want to add memory to your card, turn now to Appendix A, “Adding
Memory to a PC Compatibility Card.” Then come back to the next section,
“Installing the PC Compatibility Card.”

If you don’t want to add memory, go on to the next section, “Installing the PC
Compatibility Card.”

1 Press apart the two
levers next to the
card access port to
release the access
port cover.

2 Slide the access port cover out and away from the access port.
