AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Install - Mac Pro 2009
20 April 09 - Back

My recent Mac Pro purchase didn’t come with a AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Card. So I ordered the part and installed it myself. Apple said this should not be attempted by customers and an Apple authorised worker should carry this out. The part came with no instructions and I found very little info on the internet. However my installation was successful and I thought I would shares the instructions here.
I found the image above on the internet of an installed airport card, but please take note that I have found that this card had been installed incorrectly as the image shows the user attaching wire 1 to the top and wire 2 to the bottom. The correct way is to attach wire 1 to the top and wire 3 to bottom leaving wire two covered. The installation took me about 30-45 minutes as the the parts are so small, fiddley and on the mother board.
The location is on the bottom section, so you need to take out the bottom shelf. The AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Card need to be placed in the mother board to the far left. There will be text there saying mother board.
I found the most easy way is the first clip on the wires and then insert the card and then insert the screws.
Then put back the bottom shelf and turn on your Mac. The airport sign should be in the top right part of the screen strait away without have to do anything. Click on it and accept what it has to say (I can’t remember) and voila. I’ll start working.
