KONA LHi Installation and Operation Manual — Installing the KONA LHi
Installing the KONA LHi Card in a Mac Pro
1. Place the Mac Pro 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 Mac Pro to discharge any static
electricity you have. Remove the power cable from the back of the Mac.
3. Remove the access door as described in your Apple User Manual. Lay the Mac on
its side, motherboard facing up.
4. Remove the KONA LHi card from its protective anti-static bag; place the card on
top of the bag.
5. Visually locate the PCIe slots inside the Mac chassis. The slots are numbered along
the left side. Visit:

....and determine which slot works best for your Mac Pro model. This page is
updated regularly to account for Apple product line changes.
6. Remove the card edge locking plate on the right side of the card cage, using a
Phillips screwdriver (it is held in place by two captive phillips screws).
7. Carefully insert the KONA LHi card by rocking it slowly into the desired PCIe slot.
Ensure the card edge aligns properly with the Mac Pro’s rear panel opening (where
the card edge locking plate was just removed) and that it is fully seated in the slot.
8. Replace the card edge locking plate removed earlier, securing the two phillips
screws.
9. Replace the Mac Pro’s access door.
