Which slot for the airport extreme card?

I just picked up an airport extreme card for my mac pro. I located the slot in the mac pro, but there are two on top of each other.
Question: which slot do I have to use: the upper or lower one?

Thanks for the answer, however inserting the card was
not the difficult thing. Finding the correct wire for
the antenna was the difficult thing. A apple
certified technician helped me with that issue.

I want to buy the mac Pro and install the airport extreme card - what is the model number of the new card (apple tech tell me it is different from the old G4 card of the same name) and which is the correct wire to attach it to?
BTW I know my way around the G4 desktop having upgraded &/or replaced everything screwed down in those
this knowledge will speed up the purchase process-thanks

    i have an imac g4 purchased Dec 2003 runnung OS 10.5.8.  It runs fine with airport off, but when I turn airport on it freezes with the black page,  "restart by holding power key . . ."  I swapped the airport extreme card with the one in my ibook G4 (purchased same date and running same OS).  No change in operation.
    I am running wifi from verizon.  Recently changed from mifi2200 to jetpak 4620 in a 3G location.  Ibook running fine, desktop freezes.  If I can boot desktop in safe mode and get airport turned off in time. then I can reboot regularly and imac runs flawlessly with no wireless.Have run disk utilities and TechTool Pro rebuild etc, but nothing has worked.  How do I fine the culprit?

    the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
    That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
    We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
    I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
    After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
    Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
    Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
    After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
    Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
    I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
    Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
    This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
    In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
    Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......

  • What is the proper config for the Airport Extreme when a Voice over IP device is between the cable modem and the router.

    What is the proper config for the Airport Extreme when a Voice over IP device is between the cable modem and the router.  Its a VoIPo device. The cable modem is connected to the VoIP WAN port and the LAN port on the device feeds the Airport Extreme.  The VOIP is working fine, and my Mac are getting 10. addresses from the Airport Extreme.  But I do get confict messages and lose my connection periodicaly.  Looking for help.

    Its a VoIPo device.
    Per chance, is this device the Grandstream HT502?

  • What is the AC classification (1200 - 3200) for the AirPort Extreme?

    WHat is the AC classification (1200 - 3200) for the AirPort Extreme?

    Not sure that I understand your question.
    The AirPort Extreme does not support AC3200 if that is what you are asking.
    1300 Mbps is the theoretical maximum speed of an "ac" wireless connection on the AirPorts.

  • How do I remove the orange ribbon connector from the airport extreme card.

    It's the last thing keeping me from intalling the new card. Does anyone know how to remove it. And why does the new one have a plastic tab sticking out next to the antenna port?

    the card inside PB G4 17" is physically different card than the retail card.
    retail card has plastic tab to pull it out of the slot of compatible models:

  • Is the airport extreme card incompatible with my powermac G5 dual 2 GHz?

    I have installed an airport extreme card into my powermac G5 dual 2 GHz. It will only detect my router if it's in the same room and even then it has a very weak signal. Any suggestions?

    You need both for it to work, but don't you have the card already?

  • What is the username and password for the airport extreme router

    I just switched from a wired router to an airport extreme and im trying to access the router information by typing in my router into the search bar of safari, when I used my old router the username and password was admin, admin. but this isnt the case with the airport extreme, does anyone know what the username and password combination is for airport extreme?

    Unlike routers from most other manufacturers, Apple's Airport devices cannot be configured using a web browser pointed to the IP address of the Base Station. Any manual configuration of the Airport Base Station must be done using the Airport Admin Utility provided by Apple.
    FYI, when using the Airport Admin Utility the default password for the Airport Base Station is the word "public".

  • Can I set the MTU size for the Airport Extreme?

    Can I change the MTU size setting of the Airport? How would this be possible? In my Linksys router I was able to change this.

    Since the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) does not modify the packets in any way. So as neptune2000 stated, there is no MTU setting. Whatever MTU your computer broadcasts with is unchanged by the AEBS.
    You will need to configure the MTU on the computer sending the packets.

  • Wireless Protocols for the AirPort Extreme

    Hi guys,
    Is the airport extreme fully 802.11n certified or a draft 2.0 version? The website doesn't have any indications of any 'Wi-Fi CERTIFIED multi-stream n' logos?!
    TIA!

    Anyone?

  • What is the power cord for the airport extreme (A1354)?

    What power cord and/or adapter is used for the 2nd and 3rd generation Airport Extremes?

    My TC cable has 300v printed along it (just about read if the angle to the light is OK).
    Also 120v @ 2.5 amps is roughly 240v @ 1.25 amps, so current draw is less on the higher voltage.
    Should be fine, as long as the correct fuses are used in the plug. Which is there to protect the cable from wall socket to appliance and not the appliance itself.

  • What is the maximum MBPS for the AirPort Extreme 5th Generation?

    I am considering the E4200 v2 and AirPort Extreme routers. Can any give me the pros & cons for each? Price is about the same with the E4200 v2 $20 more.

    For an excellent review of the 5th Gen AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), I would recommend that you check out the following SmallNetBuilder article. They not only provide comprehensive data on testing the base station's performance. but they also do so for a number of other router manufacturer products, including the Cisco/Linksys E4200V2 that you are also interested in.

  • How do I install the Airport Extreme card??

    Apologies if I am just being dense. In the shop they told me to do this myself at home and follow the instructions. There were no installation instructions in the box. I eventually found something on a website (not here) for 2001 iBook models (mine is 2004). Was doing fine until the card was supposed to click smoothly into the plug thingy. It doesn't. I don't want to force it in case I damage something.
    I asked them in the shop to check that this computer does take the Extreme card rather than the old one, and they said it did. Can anyone help??

    lemontree, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If you have the 12" iBook G4, the instructions can be found in KB 26277, iBook G4: CIP Instructions.
    If you have a different iBook, visit www.apple.com/support/diy/ and choose your iBook from the drop down menu.
