APOGEE ELECTRONICS CORPORATION warrants this product to be free of defects in material and
manufacture under normal use for a period of 12 months. The term of this warranty begins on the date of sale to
the purchaser. Units returned for warranty repair to Apogee or an authorized Apogee warranty repair facility will
be repaired or replaced at the manufacturer’s option, free of charge.
ALL UNITS RETURNED TO APOGEE OR AN AUTHORIZED APOGEE REPAIR FACILITY MUST BE
PREPAID, INSURED AND PROPERLY PACKAGED, PREFERABLY IN THEIR ORIGINAL BOX. Apogee
reserves the right to change or improve design at any time without prior notification. Design changes are
not implemented retroactively, and the incorporation of design changes into future units does not imply the
availability of an upgrade to existing units.
This warranty is void if Apogee determines, in its sole business judgment, the defect to be the result of abuse,
neglect, alteration or attempted repair by unauthorized personnel.
The warranties set forth above are in lieu of all other warranties, expressed or implied, and Apogee specifically
disclaims any and all implied warranty of merchantability or of fitness for a particular purpose. The buyer
acknowledges and agrees that in no event shall the company be held liable for any special, indirect, incidental or
consequential damages, or for injury, loss or damage sustained by any person or property, that may result from
this product failing to operate correctly at any time.
USA: Some states do not allow for the exclusion or limitation of implied warranties or liability for incidental or
consequential damage, so the above exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may have other rights which vary from state to state.
Service Information
The Symphony PCI card contains no user-serviceable components: refer to qualified service personnel for repair
or upgrade. Your warranty will be voided if you tamper with the internal components. If you have any questions
with regard to the above, please contact Apogee.
In the event your Symphony PCI card needs to be upgraded or repaired, it is necessary to contact Apogee prior
to shipping, and a Return Materials Authorization (RMA) number will be assigned. This number will serve as a
reference for you and helps facilitate and expedite the return process. Apogee requires that shipments be pre-
paid and insured — unless otherwise authorized in advance.
IMPORTANT: ANY SHIPMENT THAT IS NOT PRE-PAID OR IS SENT WITHOUT AN RMA NUMBER WILL
NOT BE ACCEPTED.

On-board Jumpers
Before installing Symphony PCI cards into your Mac, it’s nec-

jumpers indicated in figure 1.
1. Remove the Symphony card from its anti-static bag, paying
careful attention to not touch the on-board components or
the gold connector pins.
2. Determine the appropriate PCI slots and jumper settings for
each card using figure 2 below.

Installing Symphony PCI Cards
1. As a safety precaution, unplug the computer’s AC cable.
2. To avoid electrostatic damage to the Symphony card, it is recommended that a grounded anti-static wrist
strap be used when installing the card.
3. Remove the G5’s side cover and air deflector
4. Remove the screw(s) securing the port access cover(s) of the required PCI slots and set them aside for later
use. Remove the port access cover(s).
5. After verifying jumper settings of the PCI card, align the card edge connector with the desired PCI slot and
press the card firmly into place until the gold pins of the edge connector are just visible. Be sure to insert the
end of the card without the connector into the appropriate card guide. If the card does not slide into place
with minimal effort, remove the card, check alignment and check for foreign objects. Don’t force the card into
place.
6. Re-install the access cover screw to secure the Symphony PCI card.
7. If multiple Symphony cards have been installed, connect the supplied ribbon cable between each PCI card as
shown below, making sure to align the key on the ribbon cable connector to the slot on the PCI card socket. If
only two Symphony cards are installed, use the connector on each end of the ribbon connector.
8. Re-install the G5’s air deflector and side panel.
