Hardware installation
1. Remove the power plug from the back of your Mac. This is a safety
precaution before opening your computer. Ensure that you are statically
discharged by using a static strap.
2. Remove the side cover of your Mac to gain access to the PCI slots.
3. Remove your DeckLink card from the protective static bag making sure
you don’t touch the gold connectors on the base of the card. These
precautions should be taken when handling any PCI card.
4. Find a spare PCI or PCI-X slot (DeckLink HD series cards require a
PCI-X slot). Remove the metal port access cover, and screw, from the
back of your Mac.
Note: If installing a DeckLink, DeckLink HD or DeckLink HD Pro please
refer to the instructions “Which slot should I use in a PowerMac G5?”
on page 7.
5. Insert your DeckLink card and ensure that it clicks rmly into place. G5’s
seem to have tighter slots so make sure the DeckLink card is rmly
seated in to place*.
6. Secure the card by the screw.
7. The procedure for installing a RAID controller card is similar to the
above.
8. Now replace the side cover of your Mac. Reconnect the power and start
up the computer.
