Installing the KONA Card
Figure 12. KONA 4 Card Example
The KONA card can be installed into a PC chassis, legacy Mac Pro chassis with PCIe
slots, or into a Thunderbolt PCIe external chassis.
IMPORTANT: The KONA 5 card requires ATX power. For customers who wish to use a
Thunderbolt 3 expansion chassis, the chassis must provide ATX connectivity and
adequate power.
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
"Optimum PCIe Slot Placement" on
page 18 for more information).
6. Remove the backplate 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. (KONA 5 card only) Connect an ATX power cable from the host motherboard
to the rear of the KONA 5 card.
