- You need an adapter cable, which on one side a SATA combo jack has (22 poles) and on the other side a white four-pin power connector. So an adapter cable, it can not be bought.
- Does the one that little problem solved, it is necessary to expand the cage for the optical drives, only to discover that it is impossible any kind of adapter cables on the bottom left at the "optical drive cage" (if one of the open side to the motherboard looks durchzufädeln), because the opening is too narrow for any type of plugs.
- If you have solved this little problem, one has to lock the plug Unscrew (which is a metal plate with two thick bolts), the USB card "energize" (with white power connector on the cable is a plug) and the purely choke USB card somehow.
- Unfortunately, it does not fit, because the motherboard the wrong distance from the housing, ie the mounting plate for the plug-in has. This affects the fact that the card is not quite pure fit, that is, the card already, but not the metal plate or mounting plate between the card and the housing remains a gap of about 2 mm. This could help a (metal) washer. Is screwed now anyway trembling and astonished the above-remote locking brutal back in, sits naturally inclined, and shaking the USB card.
- Did they all screwed together again, it is observed that the housing cutout is wrong with the back of the Mac Pro, that can be the USB connector into the new card does not completely plug because the plug previously stuck on the housing.
Conclusion: A bad tinkering with uncertain outcomes, and the Mac looks after like a junk box. Functional tests I have not done.
