INSTALLATION
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION OF THE CYBERSTROM PPC
ATTENTION!
Before starting with the installation of the CYBERSTORM PPC you should by all
means read this manual, otherwise the board or the computer could suffer
damage. Furthermore, the software has to be installed before beginning to
install the CYBERSTORM PPC. Please also refer to our warranty conditions
(chapter 6) in respect to unadequate handling and unauthorized repair.
If hard disks or other storage media on which there are unsaved data are connected to the
system into which the CYBERSTORM PPC is going to be installed, we urgently recommend
to make a safety backup of the hard disk(s) BEFORE installing the CYBERSTORM PPC.
Each new connection of hardware accessories bears the risk - if ever so small - of a damage
to sensitive components or malfunctions due to improper installation or handling, and in
consequence of such a damage or malfunction, data losses could occur. If the backup on
floppy disk seems too slow because of a large amount of data, ask your retailer if he could
take over the backup (e.g. on a streamer) and re-installation for you, or if you could borrow a
streamer, possibly against a small fee. We expressively state that we take over no warranty
whatsoever for data losses eventually occuring in case of the malfunction of the system in
consequence of the installation of the CYBERSTORM PPC.
INSTALLATION OF THE CYBERSTORM PPC INTO
THE AMIGA 4000
The CYBERSTORM PPC must be installed in the processor expansion slot of the AMIGA
4000. This slot is situated between the slot-board and the front drive. The installation of this
board is not very difficult. However if you have no prior experience with installations of
expansion boards, still have some questions after having read the instruction manual, or if
you generally prefer, your retailer can carry out the installation, possibly against a small fee.
Please take note that the installation must by all means be carried out under obligation of all
usual precautions against damages caused by electrostatic charging.
INSTALLATION OF THE CYBERSTORM PPC:
1. Switch off your computer.
2. Disconnect all cables from the computer (power cable, monitor, mouse, keyboard, other
interfaces).
3. On the Amiga 4000 there are only two screws that secure the casing cover, on the back of
the casing on the right and left.
4. Carefully remove the housing lid by flapping it up. Should you not succeed in doing so or
should you need further information, please refer to you AMIGA-user manual.
