Installing the KONA LSe Card
1. Place the PCI-Express G5 in a well-lit convenient area, where you will
have easy access to the chassis access door.
2. Using your hand, touch the outside of the G5 to discharge any static
electricity you have. Remove the power cable from the back of the
PowerMac G5.
3. Remove the access door and clear inner panel as described in your Apple
G5 User Manual. Lay the G5 on its side, motherboard facing up.
4. Remove the KONA LSe card from its protective anti-static bag; place the
card on top of the bag.
5. Visually locate the PCI-Express slots inside the G5 chassis (photo shown
on the following page). The KONA card only requires a 4-lane PCI-
Express slot, so any of the available slots will work correctly.
6. Remove the card edge access cover from the desired slot where you will
be inserting the KONA LSe card. The card edge cover is secured by a
phillips screw; save this screw for use in installing KONA LSe.
7. Holding the KONA LSe card by the card edge plate and an outside edge,
carefully insert the KONA LSe card by rocking it slowly into the slot.
Ensure the card edge aligns properly with the G5’s opening (where the
card edge cover was just removed) and that it is fully seated in the slot.
8. Secure the card in the slot using the screw removed earlier.
9. Replace the G5’s clear inner panel and outer access door.
