Connect the Adapter
During installation of the Adapter, follow these guidelines:
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that you are free of any static electricity. If necessary, touch the
•
metal case of your computer before you install the Adapter.
Do not use a magnetic screwdriver.
•
Do not touch the contact points of the computer or the Adapter. (The computer's
•
contact points are deep inside its PCI slot. The Adapter's contact points are the
short gold strips on the edge that will fit into the computer's PCI slot.)
A
Power off your desktop PC and
unplug it.
B
Open your PC case and
locate an available PCI slot on
the motherboard. Check with
your computer manufacturer
for instructions.
C
Slide the Adapter into the PCI
slot. Make sure that all of its
pins are touching the slot's
contacts. You may have to
apply a bit of pressure to slide
the Adapter all the way in.
D
After the Adapter is firmly in
place, secure its fastening tab
to your PC's chassis with a
mounting screw.
E
Close your PC and plug it back
into the electrical outlet.
F
Attach the external antenna to
the Adapter's antenna ports.
Bend the antennas so that they
make a V or L shape.
G
Power on your desktop PC.
