Chapter 4 Upgrading the 2.4-GHz Radio
Installing a 2.4-GHz Radio
Step 5
Insert the radio card into the access point’s mini-PCI connector by following these steps:
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 4-4
).
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
Do not allow antenna connectors to touch while power is applied, or the radio can be damaged. 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
Look at the compliance labels on your access point. Depending on the model you originally ordered,
there may be up to three labels affixed to the case.
