Hardware Installation

Network cards are sensitive to static electricity. To protect the
card, avoid touching its electrical components, and touch the
ground often to equalize the static charges, before handling the
card.

To plug the card:

1.

Find an available type II or type III CardBus slot in your laptop.

2.

With the adapter’s 68-pin connector facing the CardBus slot,
and the “EZ Connect g” label facing up, slide the card
completely into the slot as shown below.

Note:

Please install the driver and utility software first, before you
insert the adapter into the laptop.
