Before You Begin...
To make your conversion go smoothly, follow the checklist below:
• If your Conversion Kit included directions for upgrading your
motherboard, contact DayStar to arrange for the upgrade.
• Check the structure of your hard disk with Apple’s Disk First
Aid before beginning. Perform any needed disk repair before
beginning the conversion.
• Back up all hard disks before beginning the conversion.
• Prepare a convenient, ESD-safe work area.
• Make sure you have received all the necessary components
and software.
• Identify and read the appropriate procedures for the disas-
sembly of your Mac and the assembly of the Genesis MP
Conversion before proceeding.
• Make sure you have adequate time to convert before pro-
ceeding. Since your Mac will not be available until the con-
version is complete, finish any pressing deadline work
before beginning the conversion.
• Complete and test the Genesis MP Conversion before
adding new upgrades to the software or hardware; it is diffi-
cult to troubleshoot more than one new upgrade at a time.
