KONA LS/LSe Installation and Operation Manual — Installing the KONA LS
Installing the KONA LS Card
1. Place the G4/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 G4/G5 to discharge any static
electricity you have. Remove the power cable from the back of the PowerMac.
3. Open the PowerMac to gain access to the card slots as described in your Apple
User Manual. Lay the G4/G5 on its side, motherboard facing up.
4. Remove the KONA LS card from its protective anti-static bag; place the card
on top of the bag.
5. If installing in a G5, install the KONA LS capture card into one of the 100
MHz slots in the PowerMac and put your RAID controller card (SCSI or Fibre
Channel) in the PCI-X 133 MHz slot. Do not put the RAID controller and
the KONA LS in the two 100MHz slots since this makes them share the same
bus. If installing in a G4, put the KONA LS in any available PCI slot.
Note: On a G5, always put the RAID controller and KONA LS on separate PCI
busses. This improves performance by reducing bus contention.
6. Remove the card edge access cover from the desired slot where you will be
inserting the KONA LS card. The card edge cover is secured by a phillips
screw; save this screw for use in installing KONA LS.
7. Holding the KONA LS card by the card edge plate and an outside edge,
carefully insert the KONA LS card by rocking it slowly into the slot. Ensure
the card edge aligns properly with the G4/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 PowerMacs panel/door as removed in step 3.
