Installing the Card in a Power Macintosh 4400 or 7220
This chapter describes how to install the PC Compatibility Card hardware in a Power Macintosh 4400 computer or a Power Macintosh 7220, available in some countries.
IMPORTANT If you will be installing a PC Serial and Parallel Card with your
PC Compatibility Card, it s easiest to install both cards at the same time. The
PC Serial and Parallel Card has standard PC ports that allow you to use several kinds of PC-compatible peripherals from the Windows or DOS
environment (not from the Mac OS environment). Instructions in this chapter indicate when to see your PC Serial and Parallel Card manual for installation information.
After you install the PC Compatibility hardware, go to Chapter 5,
Connecting Monitors and Other Equipment. If you want to install additional memory in your card, go to Appendix B, Adding Memory to Your
PC Compatibility Card. Then turn to Chapters 6 through 9 to learn more about installing and using PC software.
WARNING Shipping your computer with a PC Compatibility Card
installed may cause damage to the card. Your PC Compatibility Card should be shipped separately. (See Appendix A for instructions on how to remove the card.)
