Nubus Cards

#1 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 - 09:36 68kMLA

So I have what might be considered a very noob question, but I want to make sure I don't break anything or cause anything to break prematurely.

The question is, What's the proper procedure for removing/adding Nubus cards, specifically how do you get the clip to secure the card in place, do you have to angle the card under the clip on the chassis of the Mac, or is there a release?

If it helps I have a Quadra 950.

On the metal bracket/port end of the card is a little metal hook that you need to gently pull the card up on, then push it gently sideways for the entire card to come out. Installing the card is the same - push the card down gently, then make sure the metal bracket hooks in. Installing nubus cards is easier than PCI or ISA cards, you can't go wrong really.

I didn't notice your other posts, welcome to the 68kMLA! :b&w:

There's no such thing as a noob question here, so ask away. This place was founded by kids who were new to, what was then, a new hobby.

Hopefully, we're attracting lots of new recruits.
