Installing the KONA Card
Figure 4. KONA Card (model LHe PLus)
The KONA card can be installed into a PC chassis, legacy Mac Pro chassis with PCIe
slots, or into a Thunderbolt PCIe external chassis.
1. Turn off power to the host chassis.
2. Touch the outside of the chassis to discharge any body static.
3. Remove the power cable from the back of the chassis.
4. Open the chassis.
5. Locate a recommended PCIe slot (see the AJA website for slot selection
instructions).
6. Remove the backplate and screw from the PCIe slot.
7. Touch the chassis to discharge any body static.
8. Remove the KONA card from its anti-static bag.
9. Carefully insert the card by rocking it slowly into the slot. Ensure the card
aligns properly with the slot opening and is fully seated.
10. Replace the screw to secure the card.
11. Close the chassis.
12. Power up the chassis.
NOTE: Always put a RAID controller and KONA on separate PCIe busses. This improves
performance by reducing bus contention.
