G5Jam Express™
USER'S MANUAL
Revised September 26, 2006

Features

• Compatibility – G5Jam Express is the only G5Jam
product compatible with the new dual-core G5 Power
Macs.
• Expands your storage options – G5Jam Express
allows you to add two more drives inside your dual-core
G5, for a total of four drives inside. Video editors and
photographers will use G5Jam Express to RAID their new
drives in software for stunning mountable volume sizes
and read/write speeds (over 220MB/s!)
• Easy to install – It only takes minutes to install G5Jam
Express into a dual-core G5.
• Cool design – There's a lot of air flow in the dual-core
G5s, but we still all worry about heat - especially with
hard drives. G5Jam Express takes advantage of the
excellent airflow inside the dual-core G5. With the G5Jam
Express, there's plenty of cooling space for air circulation
between the new drives, and heat dissipates through the
mounting plate.

    G5Jam Express™ Installation Instructions Check the accessories with your G5Jam Express. Please contact WiebeTech if any items are missing or damaged. The box should contain: Metal base plate and L-bracket Side boards SATA data cables Y-splitter for SATA power Y-splitter for standard ATX power...
  • Page 2 WiebeTech LLC Attach the side boards to the metal base plate, as shown. You will use 6 screws for this step. Note: Both side boards must have the logo side facing the same direction. Place the hard drives between the side boards and secure them in place with screws.
  • Page 3 After you finish installing the G5Jam Express, you will likely need to install drivers for the card. See the card’s user manual for instructions. Drivers for cards purchased from WiebeTech can be found on the same CD as this manual.
  • Page 4 WiebeTech LLC Choose your method of connecting power to the drives. There are two options: If your original internal drives have both a SATA power connector and a legacy ATX power connector, the ATX connector should be free. You can use the ATX power extension cable to route power from this connector to your drives.
  • Page 5 WiebeTech LLC Remove the fan assembly. It simply slides straight out. Remove the screw at the bottom of the case, previously covered by the fan assembly. This screw will be used to secure the G5Jam Express in place. Note: in non-dual-core G5s, the screw may be in a different position, and cannot be used to secure the G5Jam Express.
  • Page 6 Tie wraps are included in case you wish to secure the cables in position. The hardware installation is finished! No one will ever know the speed and storage you have harnessed inside your G5. They will only wonder why theirs can’t do what yours does – unless they have a G5Jam too!
