PRE-2008 MAC PRO INSTALLATION

Install eSATA Extender

1. Locate the two SATA connectors in the upper left corner

of the logic board labeled “ODD_SATA”

(Figure 13).

2. Connect the eSATA Extender’s cables to the SATA

connectors on the logic board, plugging in the straight
connector on the top, the angled connector on the
bottom;

verify the connectors are plugged in securely

(Figure 14).

3. Locate an available PCI Express slot inside your computer

and remove its access cover. If your Mac Pro is equipped
with a thin graphics card, you may be able to use the
empty space above the slot it occupies.

(Figure 15).
