Installing the KONA 3G Card into a MacPro

1. Place the computer in a well-lit area, where you will have easy access when opening

the MacPro chassis.

2. Using your hand, touch the outside of the Mac to discharge any static electricity you

have. Remove the power cable from the back of the chassis.

3. Remove the side access door and described in your Apple User Manual. Lay the

machine on its side, motherboard facing up.

4. Remove the KONA 3G card from its protective anti-static bag; place the card on top

of the bag.

5. Visually locate the PCI-Express slots inside the Mac chassis (Mac Pro photo shown on

the following page). The KONA card only requires a x4 lane PCI-Express slot, so any of

the available slots will work correctly—(slot 3 is the preferred slot on the MacPro).

You should configure the slots with the Apple Expansion Slot Utility application for

the MacPro so that the KONA is at x4 or better speed.

6. Remove the card-edge access cover from the desired slot where you will be inserting

the KONA 3G card. The card edge cover is secured by a tie-down bar with two

secured screws on MacPro computers; remove and set them aside for securing the

KONA 3G after installation.

7. Holding the KONA 3G card by the card edge plate and an outside edge, carefully

insert the KONA 3G card by rocking it slowly into the slot. Ensure the card edge

aligns properly with the computer's slot 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 or with the tie-down bar

found on MacPro machines.

9. Replace the outer access door on the MacPro.
