Apple Setting Up Your Power Macintosh G4 (PCI & AGP) - Manual (Page 51)

Working Inside the Computer 51
Press the card gently but firmly until the connector is fully inserted.
m Don’t rock the card side to side; instead, press the card straight into the slot. (Rocking the
card can damage the PCI slot.)
m Don’t force the card. If you meet a lot of resistance, pull the card out. Check the
connector and the slot for damage or obstructions, then try inserting the card again.
m Pull the card gently to see if it is properly connected. If it resists and stays in place, and if
its gold connectors are barely visible, the card is connected. (Make sure you don’t pull the
card so much that you accidentally disconnect it.)
5 Reinsert the screw that you removed earlier and tighten it to hold the PCI card in place. If
you have other cards to install, put them in now by repeating steps 1–4.
If you removed a card from your computer and did not install a replacement, install a port
access cover plate next to the slot using the screw that held the card in place. The access
cover maintains the correct air flow and keeps the computer’s components from
overheating.
6 If you are finished installing items in your computer, skip ahead to “Closing the Computer”
later in this chapter. To install additional items inside your computer, go to the section that
provides the instructions you need.
Warning Do not leave an empty PCI slot uncovered. An uncovered port can affect the
air flow that cools the computer’s internal components and cause damage.
