Remove Level 2 Cache Card from<br />
8600 Models<br />
If your Power Macintosh 8600 contains a Level 2<br />
cache card, remove it. If you are uncertain about<br />
whether you have a cache card, or where it might be<br />
located, consult your computer’s documentation or<br />
see Chapter 12, “Removing a Level 2 Cache Card.”<br />
For the Power Macintosh 96XX, the L2 cache is soldered<br />
onto the logic board and cannot be removed.<br />

Reset the CUDA switch on the logic board<br />
(Figure 7). It is located directly next to <strong>PCI</strong> slots<br />
toward the rear of the computer. Resetting this<br />
switch ensures that a new processor upgrade<br />
installed into your computer is recognized at the<br />
next startup.<br />
