The L2 is "sometimes" a problem with G3 upgrades. It is supposed to be disabled by the G3/G4. The G3/G4 upgrade has its own L2 on the daughterboard, but on occasion the original L2 card could be recognized and cause a conflict. (I've left them in numerous XLR8, PowerLogix and NewerTech upgraded Macs with no operational differences seen after removing them, but I did have a few start up problems with a Sonnett upgraded mac until I removed the cache.)
Best rule: remove to be safe, since it isn't used anyway.
