Installation Overview
The PowerClip Jr and MacClip Jr CPU accelerators attach to
the CPU clock crystal, boosting the CPU clock speed and thus
accelerating Power Macintosh 60MHz, 66MHz and 80MHz
601 systems as well as the 8100/100. No software, soldering,
wires or chip pulling is required.
The PowerClip and MacClip Jr accelerators also include a fan
assembly that cools the accelerated CPU chip to normal
operating temperatures. Remember to use the supplied anti-
static wrist strap during installation to ground yourself
before handling any components — especially when working
around Power Macs.
Some photos in this manual show the installed PowerClip
and/or MacClip Jr with a white plastic outer piece attached —
this was a product development feature which has been
eliminated from shipping units. Eliminating this piece in no
way affects the performance of either accelerator.
Once installed, you set the accelerator’s speed using the DIP
switches on the accelerator, and the charts listed for each
specific Mac model. Remember that as you move up from
stock speed to the top accelerated speed, the computer must
run for about two to three continuous hours initially, to reach
normal operating temperature. This ensures that when you
test your applications for consistency, the tests will be made
under “normal” operating conditions. All speed changes
should be made with the computer off.
As with any major system upgrade, you should be confident
that you have a recent backup of your hard drive. You should
only back up data that you don't wish to recreate.

Shut Down the computer. Leave the power cord
plugged into the wall outlet.
Detach peripherals that may block your access to the
work area and to the inside of the Macintosh case.
To open the case, locate the two tabs at the rear of the
case top, lift up on them with your fingers to release
the case lid. Now you should be able to lift up at the
back, bringing the top toward you and off. Attach the
supplied anti-static wrist strap to any metal surface,
such as the power supply, before handling any
components.
If you need extra working room, remove any DRAM
SIMMs installed into the two sockets next to the clock
chip by locating the two locking tabs at each end of the
socket and spreading them outward. That will release
the SIMM and it can be rotated rearward and removed.
Locate the CPU and clock chip on the motherboard.
The clock chip is marked “30.000MHz” in the 60MHz
and “33.000MHz” in the 66MHz Macs.

Set the DIP switches to the desired clock speed settings
using the charts listed previously. Begin with the
(lowest) 78MHz setting. If you want to accelerate the
CPU faster, make sure that the computer is fully
warmed to operating temperature before making a
speed compatibility determination. This temperature
can be reached after about two to three hours of
continuous operation. Once this temperature has been
reached, you can change speeds without waiting.
Remember, all speed changes are made with the
computer Shut Down.
Reattach the monitor cable and any external devices
disconnected earlier and replace the case top. Restart
the Mac and try all of your major applications.
You can safely increase the speed setting of the new
PowerClip accelerator after it has been in use for at
least two to three hours, continuously. If no abnormal
system behavior appears, you can Shut Down the
computer and adjust the speed setting using the DIP
switch. Copy the program Clockometer from the
supplied diskette onto your hard drive. This application
14
measures the speed of your CPU. The speeds shown in
Clockometer are close to, but usually don't match
exactly, the speeds in the manual. When you have gone
beyond the upper speed limit, you will: get erratic
serial and printer port operation, hear a bad boot tone,
applications will unexpectedly quit, “Math Coprocessor
Not Installed” errors, Bad F-Line errors and/or other
unusual system behavior. At that point, Shut Down the
computer and then set the speed setting lower using
the DIP switch and Restart. You do not have run
another two hours — simply test your apps and the
serial and printer ports for consistent, reliable opera-
tion.

To open the 7100 case,
locate the single screw
on the back of the case
edge. Remove the screw
and the top of the case can be pulled forward and off
the base.
Attach the supplied anti-static wrist strap to any
metal surface inside the case (see page 20 for sugges-
tions). Detach peripherals that may block your access
to the surrounding work area and to the inside of the
Mac case.
3) In order to get at the CPU clock speed chip, you'll have
to remove the power supply and drive bay. A single
screw holds the power supply to the rear vertical part
of the case.
4) Aplastic retainer may be present that runs across the
top of the power supply and must be removed. Reach
underneath the power supply and pull it straight up
and out of the case.
Tiss the plastic retaining cp, whch if present, must be removed before the power supply con be
removed and pulled out of the way.

Two Philips screws hold the drive bay in place. Both
screw heads face straight up. One is located about two
inches from the green on light on the lower right side
of the computer. The second is on top, just left of the
hard drive. Once they are removed, lift the front edge
of the drive bay up. Notice that the drive bay is hinged
into the back of the computer case. By lifting further
on the front of the drive bay, it can be lifted up and the
drive cables can be disconnected. It’s easier to remove
the cables from the back of the drives than from the
motherboard. Unhook the drive bay from back of the
case and pull the drive bay out of the case.

9) Reinstall the drive bay and the power supply. Reattach
all removed internal cables and the monitor if discon-
nected earlier as well as any other external devices.
10) Install the PowerClip Jr fan by placing the plastic
mounting tabs inside opening in the drive bay and
press it into position. The top of the fan will be about
1/4-inch below the top of the heat sink. Slide the
assembly from side to side until the fan is centered
over the CPU chip. Pull the power cable from the back
of the hard disk and connect it to the fan’s power cable,
then plug the fan cable into the back of the hard disk.
This is called a pass-through connector. See photos on
the previous page.
11
Restart the Mac. You can safely increase the speed
setting of the new PowerClip Jr accelerator after it has
been in use for at least two to three hours, continu-
ously. Remember, speed changes are made only when
the Mac is Shut Down. You will probably want to
experiment with the PowerClip Jr to find which of the
four speed settings is your Mac’s top speed. Copy the
program Clockometer from the supplied diskette onto
your hard drive. This application measures the speed of
your CPU. The speeds shown here are close to, but
usually don't match exactly, the speeds in the manual.
When you have gone beyond your specific Mac’s upper
speed limit, you will: get erratic serial printer port
operation, hear a bad or no boot tone, no video,
experience applications that unexpectedly quit, "Math
Coprocessor Not Installed" errors, Bad F-Line errors
28
and/or other unusual system behavior. At that point,
Shut Down the computer and then back the speed
settings down using the DIP switch settings.
NOTE: When updating the System software from 7.5 to
7.5.1, be sure to remove the Clip first, run the updater
and then reinstall the Clip. ALSO, the Newer 7.5 patch
software, supplied on diskette, will correct a few minor
bugs in the system on 7100 and 8100 computers.
To change speeds, Shut Down the computer, change
the DIP switch settings, then Restart the computer.
Make sure that the computer has initially been warmed
to full operating temperatures (two to three hours,
continuous) before making any determination about
how well the new speed is working. Remember, all
speed settings changes should be made with the
computer Shut Down. Once operating temperature has
been reached it is not necessary to run another two
hours after a speed change. Be sure to test printing
and/or modem use while accelerated. Some INITs can
limit the top speed of your Mac. You may decide that
living without a certain troublesome INIT will add
another two or four MHz to your Mac’s top speed.

one for the hard drive should be disconnected by firmly
pulling them from the motherboard. A second SCSI
cable attaches to the bottom edge of the motherboard.
With the motherboard tipped
back, the drive cables can be
removed.
37
11) With the cables disconnected and the two latches along
the top edge of the motherboard released, the mother-
board will slide forward about 1/2-inch, then it can be
rotated outward. Disconnect the drive cables that
prevent the motherboard from laying flat.

To install the PowerClip Jr, spread the legs (sides) of
the accelerator open slightly by spreading them with
the supplied spreader tool. Insert the smaller oval end
of the spreader between the legs (sides) of the Clip and
Rotate the larger handle end of the spreader from its
vertical position to a sideways position, which opens
the legs of the Clip apart. Orient the Clip with the
yellow stripe of the accelerator next to the notch on
the top of the clock chip. The clock chip is marked
“33.333MHz.” When positioned, rotate the handle of
the spreader from its sideways position to a vertical

installed PowerClip Jr’s DIP switch will face the white
memory sockets. Remove the spreader tool from
within the Clip.
NOTE: There is no CPU fan provided with the 8100/100
because the computer fan is directly over the CPU
when the motherboard is installed into the computer.
15
Check the clock speed setting for the Power Macintosh
8100/100 and set the DIP switches found on the side of
the PowerClip Jr using the chart on page 92. Begin
with the lowest possible speed setting.
16) After installing the PowerClip Jr, tilt the motherboard
back up toward the case and plug in the ribbon cables
for the floppy and hard drives.
17) Reinstall the motherboard by first fitting the bottom
back corner of the motherboard to the back of the case,
then fit the back edge of the motherboard into the
slotted edge guides on the vertical back panel. Back the
bottom edge of the motherboard up slightly into the
pegs at the bottom of the Mac case which also fit into
the corresponding notches on the board. Make sure
that the two tabs that hook into the slots in the middle
of the motherboard also are aligned at this point.
18) At the top of the computer, push up the connector
42
latch so that the motherboard can slip inside.
19) At this point you should carefully guide and align the
motherboard so that the two white pegs offset from
one another (and near the middle of the machine)
show through the corresponding slots in the mother-
board.
20) Slide the motherboard toward the back until it’s snug.
21) Reinsert the reset switches making sure that the hooks
are facing toward you. Lock it into place, making sure
both tabs click into their notches. This keeps the
motherboard from sliding forward.
22) Reconnect the speaker wire plug, the drive light
indicator plug and the power supply plug disconnected
earlier.
23) Replace either the AV card or the video card removed
earlier.
24) Replace the cross-shaped spacer frame onto the
motherboard by lining up the hinges on the side
nearest the back of the board with the tabs on the
frame. Swing the bracer toward the front of the
computer and snap the tabs back into place along the
front edge of the motherboard.
25) Replace the one screw in the center of the spacer
frame.
26) Slide the case cover on until snug and tighten the four

This is the MacClip Jr accelerator. It fits over the top of the clock
chip and clamps around it, making contact with the chip's legs.
A spring inside the legs (sides) of the accelerator hold it onto
the clock chip. A yellow stripe on the side of the accelerator
should be aligned with the indentation on the top of clock chip
making the DIP switch face the back of the Mac case when
installed.

‘that the widest part of the oval
spreader is sideways to the Clip
(between the two inside chips, spreading the
legs apart). With the legs spread, the Clip can
be lowered onto the clock chip and contact
with the legs of the chip can be verified. The
spreader is removed by turning the handle so
that the wide part of the oval is vertical to the
Clip (which closes the sides of the Clip onto
the legs of the clock chip) and then pulled
from within the Clip.

one for the hard drive should be disconnected by
pulling them from the motherboard.
14) With the motherboard laid flat, orient the MacClip Jr
with the clock chip so that the yellow stripe on the
accelerator is next to the indentation on the top of the
chip. The DIP switch faces away from the NuBus slots.
To install the PowerClip Jr, spread the legs (sides) of
the accelerator open slightly by spreading them with
the supplied spreader tool. Insert the smaller oval end
of the spreader between the legs (sides) of the Clip and
Rotate the larger handle end of the spreader from its
vertical position to a sideways position, which opens
the legs of the Clip apart. Orient the Clip with the
yellow stripe of the accelerator next to the notch on

Set the DIP switches to the clock speed settings using
the charts on page 95 for the 840AV and page 96 for
the 800. You should begin at the lowest speed and work
up. To test for the highest speed, make sure that the
computer is already warmed to operating temperature
before making a speed compatibility determination.
This temperature can initially be reached after about
two to three hours of continuous operation. Remem-
ber, all speed settings should be made with the com-
puter Shut Down.

By using a small flat blade screwdriver, gently spread the shiny metal clips from the base of the
(PU socket. By releasing one side, the heat sink and the clip can be pulled off the CPU chip.
The metal heat sink clip has been popped over the small nubs on the base of the CPU socket. Once
you reach this point, the heat sink and clip can be pulled off of the CPU chip.
16) Remove the heat sink from the CPU chip by gently
prying the shiny metal clip edges away from the side of
the chip. Make sure that nothing touches the mother-
board which might scratch or scrape the delicate
traces (gold lines). Once the heat sink clip has been
removed, the entire heat sink can be removed. Place
the square gray paper-like sheet on top of the CPU
chip. This is a thermal conductor that helps transmit
heat from the CPU chip to the heat sink. To install the
MacClip Jr heat sink/fan assembly onto the CPU,
unscrew the base of the assembly. Slide this base part
of the assembly over the CPU chip. Then screw the
heat sink onto the base unit, finger tight. Pull the
power cable (which originates at the power supply)
from the back of the hard disk (or use the second drive
power cable, which is loose if there is only one hard
disk installed) and connect it to the fan’s power cable,
then plug the fan cable into the back of the hard disk.
17)
Reinstall the motherboard and reattach all cables in
the reverse order removed. Install the reset switch.
Reinstall the power switch in the Quadra 840AV.
Reinstall the cross spacer onto the motherboard. Re-
attach the monitor to the computer. Reinstall the AV
card and other NuBus cards removed earlier. Replace
the case top when completely done adjusting the speed
of the MacClip Jr.
18)
Restart the Macintosh and insert the supplied diskette,
copy the Clockometer application to your hard drive
and run Clockometer to verify that the speed is faster
62
than the Quadra 840AV's stock 40MHz or the 800’s
33MHz stock speed. You will find that the speed
registered by Clockometer will not match exactly the
speed listed in DIP switch setting charts in this
manual. This is not a problem, just a reflection of two
slightly different methods of speed measurement.
19) You can safely increase the speed setting of the new
MacClip Jr accelerator after it has been in use for at
least two to three hours continuously. When you have
gone beyond the upper speed limit, you will: hear a bad
boot tone, experience applications that unexpectedly
quit, "Math Coprocessor Not Installed" errors, Bad F-
Line errors, printer and serial ports will stop working
and/or other unusual system behavior. At that time,
Shut Down and then adjust the speed settings to slow
the Mac down using the DIP switch settings.

easy MacClip Jr
installation. In that
case, pull both drives
forward increasing the
space available around
the chip for
installation.
64
The location of the clock chip
is just behind the hard disk on
the left side of the computer
(as you face the front of the
‘Mac). You may find that it
helps to pull the hard disk
‘and/or the CD-ROM forward
(as shown above) to make
‘enough room to get the
‘MacClip Jr to fit around the
clock chip. The drives are
released by pushing the fob
(molded into the plastic drive
bracket) underneath the drive
nd pulling the drive forward.
The indentation faces the rear
of the computer.
This is the MacClip Jr accelerator. By spreading the legs (sides)
of the MacClip Jr accelerator using the supplied spreader tool, it
can be positioned onto the clock chip. An internal spring holds
‘the MacClip Jr onto the clock chip legs. Notice the DIP switch
located on the side of the unit which will face the left side as
you look the computer from the front. The DIP switch is used to
make the CPU speed settings using the charts on page 98.

3) Place the square gray paper-like sheet on top of the
CPU chip. This is a thermal conductor that helps move
heat from the CPU chip to the heat sink. Install the
heat sink/fan assembly onto the CPU by pressing it
onto the top of the CPU chip, making sure that the
shiny metal clamp fits over and onto the base of the
CPU socket. Pull the power cable from the back of the
hard disk and connect it to the fan’s power cable, then
plug the fan cable into the back of the hard disk.
4) Locate the clock chip by referring to the photos on the
previous pages. You may find that moving the hard
disk (and the CD-ROM drive, if present) forward toward
the front of the case will make more room for the
MacClip Jr to fit around the clock chip. This is done by
pressing the tab that’s part of the plastic drive bracket,
underneath the drive itself. The top of the clock chip
is marked “12.500 MHz.”

Set the MacClip Jr DIP switches to the desired clock
speed settings using the chart on page 95. You should
begin at the lowest speed setting and work up. Make
sure that the computer is fully warmed to operating
temperature before making a speed compatibility
determination. This temperature can be reached after
about two to three hours of continuous operation.
Once the computer has reached operating tempera-
ture, you can make changes without waiting another
two hours. Remember, all speed settings should be
made with the computer Shut Down.
Restart the Mac and insert the supplied diskette, copy
the Clockometer application to your hard drive and
run Clockometer to verify that the speed is faster than
the stock 25MHz. You will find that the speed regis-
tered by Clockometer will not match exactly the speed
listed in DIP switch setting charts in this manual. This
is not a problem.
You can safely increase the speed setting of the new
MacClip Jr accelerator without worrying about hurting
any hardware. When the accelerator is set too fast, you
69
will: experience erratic operation of the printer and
serial ports, hear a bad boot tone, applications will
unexpectedly quit, "Math Coprocessor Not Installed"
errors, Bad F-Line errors and/or other unusual system

Once you have completed the speed experimentation
process, you can replace the Mac case top.

Troubleshooting
Make sure that the PowerClip Jr is attached to the
correct clock chip and that it is oriented correctly.
Recheck the PowerClip Jr to ensure that it has made
full contact with the clock chip’s legs and has not
been bumped loose or is touching any other devices
inside the Mac. Pull vertically on the Clip - if it is
gripping the clock chip, it should not come off.
Verify that the DIP switch settings are correct for your
specific Mac model using the charts beginning just
before this section of the manual. Start at the lowest
speed available then work up to a setting that offers the
highest reliable speed.
Make sure that any peripherals that were
disconnected earlier in the installation have been
reattached properly and that the cables are fully
attached. Reboot with Extensions off by holding the
Shift key during boot to establish whether or not an
Extension is reacting badly to the higher speed setting.
You may find that a certain INIT can prevent you from
getting an additional two or four MHz of speed.
Make sure that the AV card or the video memory
upgrade card is fully seated into the Mac. Also check
the cache SIMM — removing and reinstalling it can
occasionally solve problems with booting.
When updating the System software from 7.5 to 7.5.1,
99
be sure to remove the Clip first, run the updater and
then reinstall the Clip. ALSO, the Newer 7.5 patch
software, supplied on diskette, will correct a few minor
bugs in the system on 7100 and 8100 computers.
7) After you have checked these suggestions, take
advantage of our Technical Support people who can
assist you with further problem diagnostics.
If things still won’t work, you may have a more “general”
system problem. By zapping the PRAM and rebuilding the
desktop, you can make the system reset certain functions
that are easily corrupted. Many Mac users make a routine
of these two operations just as a matter of preventative
maintenance. You can “zap” or reset the Parameter RAM
(PRAM) by holding down the Command, Option, P and R
keys and waiting for the third chime. Then rebuild the
desktop by holding down the Command and Option keys
as the Macintosh restarts. You may also want to check to
make sure that a more general problem has just decided to
show up, such as SCSI ID# conflict.
It’s always fastest for you to have eliminated all of the
previously mentioned problems before calling our Techni-
cal Support for assistance. You can reach Newer Technol-
ogy Technical Support at 800-678-3726 or 316-685-4904,
fax 316-685-9368 or AppleLink at Newer.Tech, eWorld at
