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, as shown in
Figure 5-8. 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 per-
formance.
6. Power on your desktop PC.
7. Windows will detect the new hardware and begin installing the driver files
in your operating system.
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 Ye s
button to continue.
Congratulations! The installation of the Dual-Band Wireless A+G PCI
Adapter is complete.
