2. Hardware Installation
2.1 System Requirements
Before installing WLP-01, make sure your system meets the following requirements.
• A motherboard with PCI Express Slot
• Minimum 64MB system memory
• Operating system
Station mode: Windows XP/Server 2003, Windows XP/Server 2003 x64
AP/wireless bridge mode: Windows XP/Server 2003
• An optical drive for utilities and driver installation
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.
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.
