Here's the PelicanParts Tip service DIY:
Pelican Technical Article: Changing Boxster Automatic Transmission Fluid - 986 / 987

If you want to see an in-depth tear down of the transmission look for YouTube videos by "Jeff Richardson" (BMW version of the transmission)

Here's the manufacturer's parts catalog for the Porsche 5HP-19 FL. It has some good diagrams and the fill procedure:
