Power Macintosh 7100 Crescendo Installation
Identify System Video Output Configuration
Before installing the Crescendo card into your computer, it is important
to identify your system configuration for video output.
Apple
®
manufactured the Power Macintosh 7100 with an AV (Audio/
Video) card or HPV (High Performance Video) card installed in the PDS
slot of the computer. Other video alternatives include onboard video
through the high density video port or a NuBus video card.
Determine your video output configuration by referring to Figure 1
below. There are three possible configurations:
• Apple AV or HPV Card – If the monitor is attached to a card
installed in the PDS slot (Figure 1-Label A), you have an AV or
HPV card. Since the Crescendo card installs into the PDS slot, you
will need the AV/HPV Card Video Adapter Kit (Sonnet part number
C61A-7181) to preserve the use of the AV or HPV card. If you
purchased a video adapter kit, continue with the installation on the
following page; otherwise, contact Sonnet or a Sonnet reseller to
obtain a one.
• Onboard Video – If the monitor is attached to the high density
video port (Figure 1-Label B), you have onboard video. Continue
with the installation on the following page.
• NuBus Video Card – If the monitor is attached to a card installed in
one of the three NuBus slots (Figure 1-Label C), you have a NuBus
video card; continue with the installation on the following page.

from the pop-up menu. Click OK, Start, then Continue to
complete the installation. After the software is installed, quit the
Mac OS Install application and restart your computer from the hard
drive where Mac OS 9 is installed.
2. Insert the Crescendo/Encore Install diskette into the floppy disk
drive. Double click the Crescendo/Encore Install icon. By default,
with “Easy Install” selected from the pop-up menu, the required
software will be installed into the active System Folder on the boot
drive. If this is ok, click the Install button; otherwise, select

computer and move it to an area where you can freely work.
Support Note:
IMPORTANT! – If you are installing a Crescendo card
into a Power Macintosh 7100 with an AV or HPV card, you will require
the AV/HPV Card Video Adapter Kit to preserve your video output.
We recommend that you make a backup of important information on your
hard drive prior to installing new hardware or software. When handling
computer products, you must take care to prevent components from being
damaged by static electricity. Avoid carpeted areas, handle processor upgrade
cards only by their edges, and avoid touching connector traces and
component pins.

3. Open your Power Macintosh by first loosening the security screw
(Figure 2, inset) on the back of the case with a large flatblade
screwdriver; then, gently slide the case cover off the computer
(Figure 2).
4. Identify the internal components of your computer. Touch the
power supply metal shielding (Figure 3) to discharge any potential
damaging static electricity.

Remove PDS Card from PDS Slot
1. Locate the PDS slot (Figure 4). If there is a PDS card installed (such
as the Apple AV or HPV card), remove it (Figure 4), and set it aside.
2. To preserve the use of your AV or HPV card, you need the AV/HPV
Card Video Adapter Kit (Sonnet part number C61A-7181). If you
have the video adapter kit, continue with the installation
instructions. If you do not have the video adapter kit, please
contact Sonnet to obtain one.
Remove Level 2 Cache Card
If your computer contains a Level 2 cache card, remove it. If you are
uncertain about whether you have a Level 2 cache card, or where it
might be located, consult your computer’s documentation or see
Chapter 10, “Removing a Level 2 Cache Card.”

Remove the Crescendo card from the anti-static package, making sure to
handle the card by the edges (Figure 5). Your card may differ from what is
pictured below.
• If You Are Re-Installing an AV or HPV Card – Temporarily set the
Crescendo card aside and continue with the instructions on the
following page to install the Crescendo with an AV or HPV card.
• If You Do Not Have an AV or HPV Card – Align the Crescendo card
over the PDS slot (Figure 6). Gently press down until the card is firmly
seated in the PDS slot. Replace the cover onto your computer and
finish the installation in the section entitled, “Reconnect Power and
Peripheral Cables” on page 36.

Before installing the Crescendo NuBus processor upgrade card with
the AV or HPV card, you will require the following items (Figure 7):
Included with adapter kit:
1) Video adapter board
2) Video flex cable
3) Two 4-40 nuts
4) Support stand-off (required for 7100 only)
5) Two subassembly standoffs (required for 8100 only)
Needed; not included with adapter kit:
6) Small flatblade screwdriver
7) Small Philips screwdriver
8) Crescendo NuBus processor upgrade card
9) PDS-based AV or HPV card (AV card shown below)

Temporarily Remove NuBus Cards from Computer
Locate the NuBus slots (Figure 8). If any NuBus cards are installed,
temporarily remove them so you have better clearance for installing the
video adapter board. If you have three NuBus cards in your computer,
you will only be able to reinstall two of them. The middle NuBus slot is
required for the adapter board.
Identify Your PDS-based Video Card
Determine if you have an AV or HPV card as follows:
• AV Card – The AV card has a single 15-pin monitor connector
for a monitor and S-Video In and S-Video Out ports (Figure 9)
that support Audio/Video features. If you have an AV card,
continue with the instructions in the section entitled, “Affix the
AV Card to Adapter Board” on page 28.
