Mac Pro (8x) Upgrades — AirPort Extreme Card 15 8
AirPort Extreme Card
Important: The computer enclosure includes AirPort antenna wires and a Bluetooth antenna
wire. The Bluetooth antenna wire looks similar to the AirPort antenna wires, except that it
includes a “BT” label. For proper operation, be careful not to connect the Bluetooth antenna wire
to the AirPort card or any AirPort antenna wire to the Bluetooth card.
Note: You may connect the AirPort antenna wires to either AirPort card connector.
Tools
The only tool required for this procedure is a magnetized jewelers Phillips #1 screwdriver.
Preliminary Steps
Before you begin, open the computer, and lay it on its side with the access side facing up.
