Does anyone have a link to download the service manual for a Dual G5 Powermac?

I have an airport/bluetooth combo card that I need to install in this G5 and I cannot, for the life of me, figure it out. Its not a diy upgrade and Apple wants it done by an official Apple Service Technician so there is virtually no info out there.

Its basically an airport card mounted (apparently with tape) on a runway card that also has the blootooth module. Then there are two wires with small rectangular boxes at the ends.

Ring a bell? The service manual supposedly has the instructions and can be downloaded though I don't know where. Its a brand new dual G5.

If you figure this out, would you let me know? I would like to do the same. I'll let you know what I find out too.

Specifically, you are looking for the service manual for the dual-core G5 models. Also referred to by Apple as the Late 2005 G5 models.

I too would like to have this manual, but it is one of those that hasn't escaped into the wild yet.

I took the easy way out and bought the external usb dongle. It would have been $99 for the airport/bluetooth combo product and $30 for installation at the Apple store.
