just be careful which way you orient the card. I seem to remember it needs to be with the "Airport Extreme" wording facing upwards. There is no metal "keyed" slot to enforce correct alignment over the Airport/WiFi connector, as there is in the earlier PCI Power Mac G5 models, that is why you have to be sure you have it oriented correctly.
It's also worth noting that when placed incorrectly, the Airport Extreme card will stop your G5 from booting at all. So if you've just mounted A1027 and the machine won't even start (no reaction to power button) - you know where to look.
(this statement has been personally verified on no less than two Power Mac G5's to the unspeakable personal horror and then - relief of the one writing these words).
