Bracket, Drive, & Host Installation

Installing the Software Drivers & Formatting

The PCI-e Host Adapter must have a driver installed in

order for the G5 to recognize the drives. The PCI Host
Adapter does not need a driver installed, go directly to page
17 for information on Formatting a Drive.

Supplied with the PCI-e Host Adapter is a

CD that contains drives. The G5 driver looks
like the icon above. The card uses the Silicon
Image 3132 chipset and the driver is written by
Silicon Image. To check for updates go to their
website, www.siliconimage.com.

Upon opening the application continue

through all the dialog boxes.

You will be prompted as to where you

want the driver installed which must be on the
boot drive. The driver file is called a .kext file.
It is located in the system/library/extensions/
directory.
