Installing a 2.4-GHz Radio
Step 5
Insert the radio card into the access point’s mini-PCI connector by following the steps below:
a.
Tilt the radio card at approximately 20
o
to 30
o
so that its gold pins are aligned with the mini-PCI
connector (see
Figure 5-4
).
b.
Push the card into the mini-PCI connector until it clicks into place.
Step 6
Carefully push the card down (towards the access point’s motherboard) until the card-retaining clips lock
into the notches on the side of the radio card (you will hear a click).
Step 7
Carefully position the antenna wires so that the metal connectors do not touch each other.
Caution
Damage to the radio could occur if the antenna connectors are touching when power is applied. If they
are touching, carefully rotate them in opposite directions until they are separated.
Step 8
Reinstall the 2.4-GHz radio access cover and use the T-10 tamper-resistant Torx L-wrench to tighten the
cover’s retaining screw.
Step 9
Remove the backing paper from the 2.4-GHz radio product compliance label.
Step 10
Carefully attach the label in the space provided below the access point’s product compliance label as
shown in
Figure 5-5
.

compliance label on the back of the unit.
The radio card installation is now complete. To configure the 2.4-GHz radio card with your wireless
