Unplug the PCI Cooling Fan (9500 only)
The PCI cooling fan in the 9500’s card support connects to the
motherboard through a short cable. Follow the cable to the con-
nector on the motherboard and disconnect it. The fan will not be
reused in the Genesis MP Conversion. The 8500 card support
does not have a PCI cooling fan.

Remove the AV cable from its connector (located near the 8500’s
processor card slot). Use care - the AV cable is delicate and the
cable and module will be reused in the Genesis MP.
