3. Locate 2 antenna cables with connectors. Snap the cable onto the golden
connector on the Mini PCI Wireless LAN card. (Note: The connectors are fairly
small! This may take some maneuvering. You may want to connect the antenna
cables before inserting the wireless card into the socket. )
4. Replace the System Device Cover and 9 Screw D’s.
Congratulations! You have now completed the mini PCI card installation. The next time
the system boots to Windows, the system will prompt for the driver location. Insert the
Factory CD-ROM and point to the directory where the Wireless LAN driver can be found.
In addition to installing the driver, you may also need to run a Setup.exe program to
install the card’s utility applications before it is fully operational.
