To connect HD cards with the TDM FlexCable on
Power Macintosh “QuickSilver” and earlier G4
computers:
1 Shape the FlexCable before installing it on
your HD cards by grasping the cable with both
hands and moving the Port A portion of the ca-
ble straight towards you and inwards, as shown
below. Do not bend the cable more than you
need to, as you may damage the traces in the ca-
ble.
2 Slide the FlexCable into the notch of the sec-
ond card, so that the Port B connector of the
FlexCable can be aligned with Port B of the first
card; and the Port A connector of the FlexCable
can be aligned with Port A of the second card, as
shown below.
3 Connect the Port A connector of the FlexCa-
ble to Port A on the second card. Push down
gently but firmly until the cable is fully con-
nected to the card. Next, attach the other end of
the FlexCable (labeled Port B) to Port B on the
first card.
4 Verify the connection, as shown below.
5 For systems with more than two cards, con-
nect each additional card to its preceding card.
Use FlexCables to connect card pairs together, as
described above, until all cards are connected.
(Each HD Accel card is packaged with a FlexCa-
ble.)
6 Close the computer case.
