InstallingYour Hardware

Nexus GA ﬁts into connectors called expansion slots, inside

your computer.

Your Mac OS computer has one or more slots, each designed to

accept Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) cards.

The following procedure details the installation of a card in a

typical Mac OS PCI-based tower computer. If your computer

does not match this conﬁguration, please refer to the expansion

card installation instructions that came with your computer.

WARNING

• The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage,

caused directly or indirectly, by improper installation of

components by unauthorized service personnel.

If you

do not feel comfortable performing the installation,

consult a qualiﬁed technician.

• Make sure power is off during installation; otherwise,

damage to system components, the graphics accelerator

card, and injury to yourself may result.

Installing your Nexus GA

Turn off your computer, and disconnect the monitor cable.

Remove the computer cover. If necessary, consult your

computer system manual for removal instructions.

IMPORTANT

incompatible graphics accelerator extension.

• Restart your computer and hold down the SHIFT key

during startup. This disables all extensions from loading.

After disabling extensions, you can update the graphics

accelerator extension by installing the software included

with your card. For more information about installing
