2.2 Hardware Installation
The
WLP-01
package comes together with an omni-directional portable antenna to extend its
maximum operating range.
1.
Power off your system before installing
the
WLP-01
card.
(This picture is for reference only, and may have
size, shape, or parts differences in the antenna or
WLAN card itself.)
2.
Locate one available
PCI-E X1
slot on
your motherboard.
(Due to each
motherboard’s different designing,
it is recommended to install the
WLP-01 card on PCI-E X1 slot, so as
to avoid degrading the speed of the
PCI-E X16 card.)
3. Plug
the
WLP-01
card with its
connector-side vertically down into the
slot.
(Avoid touching the connector
(golden fingers) when holding the
WLP-01 card.)
4. Secure
the
WLP-01
card by its bracket
onto the chassis’s rear I/O panel.
5.
Connect the cable-end from the external antenna to the antenna port on
WLP-01
card.
6.
Place the antenna at an elevated spot. A wide and open position will help to increase the
operating range.
