Dual-Band Wireless A+G PCI Adapter

Chapter 5: Hardware Installation

NOTE: You must run the Setup Wizard to install the software before installing
the hardware.

Connecting the Adapter

1. Turn off your desktop PC.
2. Open your PC's case, and locate an available PCI slot on the motherboard. Check with your computer's
manufacturer if you need instructions.
3. Slide the Adapter into the PCI slot. Make sure that all of its pins are touching the slot's contacts. You may have
to apply a bit of pressure to slide the Adapter all the way in.
4. After the Adapter is set firmly in place, secure its fastening tab to your PC's chassis with a mounting screw.
Then close your PC's case.
5. Rotate the antenna so that it is positioned straight up and perpendicular to the horizon. This will ensure
optimum wireless operating range and performance.
6. Power on your desktop PC.
7. Windows will detect the new hardware and begin installing the driver files in your operating system.
Note: For Windows 2000 users, you may be informed that a digital signature has not been found after
Windows detects the new hardware. This is normal, and it has been verified that the Adapter does work with
Windows 2000. Click the Yes button to continue. Some Windows users may be asked to restart their
computers.
Congratulations! The installation of the Dual-Band Wireless A+G PCI Adapter is complete.
