Carefully press down the rear of the card and insert the two mounting screws. A small magnetic screwdriver may be of help here. Locate the two WiFi antenna leads stored in the area above the cards mounting location and attached them to the two antenna post on the card. There will also be a bluetooth antenna lead in that same area. Inserting these screws and attaching the antenna leads is the most difficult part of this install due to the limited space and the small size of the parts involved. Be patience and careful not to force things.ħ.

Instructions for Installing a Airport Extreme Card in an Intel Mac Pro:ġ. I purchased my intel Mac Pro from Apple as a refurbished unit and it didn’t have the 802.11b/g/n Airport Extreme Card installed as a factory option. I wanted this capability, so I purchased a compatible Airport Extreme (802.11n) from FastMac and did it myself.ĭisclaimer: Here’s the procedures I followed. Use them at your own risk. It worked for me but I’m not responsible for any damages you might do to your computer. It’s difficult mainly due to the cramped space and small parts involved. It’s not a job for the timid. You’ll need a steady hand and patience. It will also help if you have small fingers. Installing an Apple Airport Extreme Card in a Intel Mac Pro is not considered by Apple to be a user installed option so you’ll find little or no instructional help from Apple.
