KONA LH/LHe Installation and Operation Manual — Installing the KONA LH
Installing the KONA LH Card
1. Place the 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.
3. Open the PowerMac to gain access to the card slots as described in your Apple
User Manual. Lay the G5 on its side, motherboard facing up.
4. Remove the KONA LH card from its protective anti-static bag; place the card
on top of the bag.
5. Install the KONA LH 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 LH in
the two 100MHz slots since this makes them share the same bus.
Note: Always put the RAID controller and KONA LH 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 LH card. The card edge cover is secured by a phillips
screw; save this screw for use in installing KONA LH.
7. Holding the KONA LH card by the card edge plate and an outside edge,
carefully insert the KONA LH 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 PowerMacs panel/door as removed in step 3.
