  Posted by Salvatore Ferrante on August 18, 2008 at 11:54 am

  Hello,
  i’m newbie of kona cards and this is my fisrt post. and My english is quite poor, So please be patient.
  i’ve taken this project for a friend of mine.
  we have to install a kona LHe on a MAC PRO 2008 with 2 Graphic cards (radeon 2600HD) installed.
  looking at previous posts, i’ve found a picture that illustrate installing of kona on slot 2 for new mac pro of 2008.

  How do i install this card? have i to move 1 GPU?

  The card’s already 1 year old and my friend doesn’t find old drivers or manuals. do i need only download new driver 5.1?

  Thanks.

  with 2 graphics cards (why? bad idea on a editing workstation)
  the Kona card should be in the slot farthest from the CPU ( #4) -your storage connection should go into slot 3.

  correct always download the latest drivers from the Aja Website

  ciao…

  Salvatore –
  your English is excellent.

  Gary is correct. Remove one of the Radeon 2600 cards. You DO NOT NEED 2 graphics cards in one edit system.
