Buz installs on three types of Apple Power Macintosh G3 systems: Mini Tower, Desktop and All-in-one. 2 1. Remove the computer cover. CAUTION If you are unsure about how to open your computer, please refer to the user's manuals that came with your system. Lay the Mini Tower G3 on its side, press the latch button, lift the cover panel up a few inches, and lift it off. On the Desktop G3, remove the holding screw, press the security bar in the center, then press the release latches on each side and slide the cover forward, as shown in the graphic. The Power Mac All-in-one G3 has four screws on the back of the computer that must be removed. MINI TOWER G3 Lay tower on its side Latch Button Lift cover up and off DESKTOP G3 Remove 4 screws Pull out logic board tray Remove screw, press the security bar then press the Release Buttons All-IN-ONE G3 3 2. Open the computer. The Mini Tower G3 has two green colored locking levers. Pull the levers up and out to release the chassis, then open the chassis by pulling up the big brown handle. Pull the All-in-one G3 logic board tray out carefully until it stops. Be careful that you do not tip the computer over. On the Desktop G3, pull the card cage plastic cover up to reveal the PCI slots. (Not shown.) Use the handle to carefully open the chassis Unlock the top chassis by pulling the two green locking levers upward and outward MINI TOWER G3 Pull logic board tray out until it stops ALL-IN-ONE G3 4 3. Locate any vacant PCI expansion slot and remove the expansion slot cover. (Save the slot cover screw for use in the next step.) Support the tray with your hand while installing the Buz card PCI slots Remove slot cover and retain screw ALL-IN-ONE G3 MINI TOWER G3 Swing the chassis open until it rests firmly on the work surface 5 4. Unpack the Buz card. CAUTION Touch a grounded metal object to discharge any build-up of static electricity before handling the Buz card. Handle the card by its edges. If you lay it down, place it on the static-proof bag it is shipped in. 5. Push the Buz card FIRMLY into the PCI slot, then replace the PCI slot cover screw. Optional: Connect internal SCSI device Data cable here Bracket flush to chassis Pin 1 Connector fits evenly PCI slot Ensure the bracket fits flush against the chassis. The connector should fit evenly on both ends of the PCI slot to ensure a good connection. Optional internal drive installation: If you are connecting an internal SCSI drive to the SCSI connector on your Buz card, you may want to install or connect it at this time. 6 6. Install your software. Start your computer. Put the Buz Installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. · Double click on the Start Here icon. Choose install software. Note: The system will prompt you to restart your computer a few times through the installation process. · The default install settings will automatically install the software drivers and will create the Iomega Buz folder on your hard drive and will install all of the Buz software pieces (drivers, applications, utilities, etc.). At the end of the software installation you will be asked to register your Buz Multimedia Producer. The serial number is located on the label on the bottom of the Buz Box. NOTE: When launching Adobe Premiere 4.2 LE for the first time, you will be asked to enter your serial number. Enter MSM420B7147935-100-345 in the serial number field. 7 Buz Box Connections 1. Connect the Buz box cable to the Buz card on the back of your computer. The longer connector on the back of the Buz card is the connector for external SCSI devices (such as Jaz drives). A variety of SCSI devices can connect to the Buz card. See your SCSI device documentation for proper connection. Also see the SCSI Guidelines section in this booklet. Buz Card Connectors SCSI Connector Fifteen-Pin Connector Optional: If you are connecting an external SCSI device to the Buz card, it will be easier to connect it before connecting the Buz box fifteen-pin connector. NOTE: If your external SCSI device does not match the connector on the back of the Buz card, purchase a quality cable converter from your dealer or call 1-800 MYSTUFF. 8 Buz Box connector: The fifteen-pin connector from the Buz Box goes to the matching connector of the Buz card. Look at this plug carefully. Check orientation before connecting. After connecting, tighten the thumbscrews. Avoid bending any pins. Audio In: The smaller of the two Buz audio connectors is the Audio In connector. Connect it to the Microphone port on the back of your computer. Look for the MICROPHONE symbol: Plug the 'Audio In' connector into the Microphone port on the back of your computer 'Audio in' Connector from Buz Box 9 Audio Out: The larger of the two Buz audio connectors is the Buz Audio Out Passthrough connector. It should be plugged into the speaker port on the back of your computer. If you have a connector for external speakers already plugged into the speaker port, disconnect and reconnect it into the back of the Pass-through connector so your speakers will continue to work. Note: If you don't hear sound when playing videos on your computer, you may need to unplug the Pass-through connector to hear sound through your computer's internal speaker. CAUTION When you want to play your videos out to a VCR or TV, remember to reconnect the Pass-through connector into the back of your computer or no audio will go out to the VCR or TV. Look for the SPEAKER symbol on the back of your computer. Plug the Buz Audio Out Pass-through connector into the speaker port on the back of your computer Unplug your existing External 'Speaker Out' connector and reconnect it into the back of the Pass-through Audio Out Pass-through connector 10 CAUTION The clearance surrounding the External `Speaker Out' connector on the Mini Tower G3 with the Personality card is limited. You may need to apply pressure to the Passthrough connector for a good connection. Take care to not damage the connector or the input. Buz Audio In Connector Buz Audio Out Pass-through Connector Your Existing Speaker's Connector External SCSI Connector Buz Box Connector NOTE: The back of your Macintosh may not look the same as the graphic. If you are unsure about the connections, refer to your Power Macintosh G3 User's Guide. 11 4. Plug your audio and video input and output devices into the Buz Box. Buz Box Connections Output to Storage Side Composite Video Output S-Video Output Audio Right Channel Audio Left Channel Input from Source Side Audio Left Channel Audio Right Channel S-Video Input Composite Video Input CAUTION Do not connect your audio equipment to the composite video input or output jack. You could damage your equipment or your Buz card. Audio Input/Output: The Buz Box uses universal color codes for video and audio connectors. The left-channel is WHITE and the right-channel is RED. Simply match the colors for proper connection. If your video equipment has a single audio connector, connect it to the Left or WHITE channel. You will not be using the right channel, or RED connector. Composite Video Input/Output: The RCA connector for composite video uses the universal yellow color code. Composite video connectors are the same type as the RCA audio connectors; do not connect audio to this jack. 12 If your Power Macintosh G3 system has the Personality card installed, it is equipped with high quality audio inputs. You may want to connect RCA audio connectors directly to these rather than connecting through the Buz box. If you do, you must change your settings in the Control Panel setting: Monitors and Sound/ Sound/Sound Monitoring Source/RCA in. If your are unsure how to connect to the back of your computer, consult your G3 User's Guide.
