Installing and Setting Up the Card

Step 2 Insert
Insert the Card into your computer
2.1
You will be prompted to remove the
CD and insert your Card. To do so,
remove the software CD from the
CD-ROM drive then shut down your
computer and disconnect the power.
2.2
Remove the screws behind your
computer case that secure the
computer cover and remove the
cover. Touch any metal part of the
case to discharge static electricity,
to avoid damage to the product or
your computer.
2.3
Locate an empty PCI expansion
slot. It is usually white in color.
Confirm that the Card will fit into
the slot you have chosen. Keep
in mind that the included antenna
needs to be oriented with the top
pointing up. If there are cables and
other connectors in the way, try
to pick the PCI slot that has the
fewest obstructions to the correct
positioning of the antenna.
2.4
Remove the metal bracket cover
from the back of the computer that
corresponds to the PCI slot you
selected. If there is a screw, place it
in a safe place, as you will be using it
to attach the Card to the
computer later.
