Hardware and Driver Installation
Step One: Prepare for installation
Unplug your computer and remove the computer’s cover.
Step Two: Connect the Wireless Access PCI Adapter to
your computer
Locate an available PCI slot and insert the Wireless Access PCI Adapter.
PCI slots are typically white plastic lined with metal and are 3.5 inches
long. Use the slot cover screw to secure the Wireless Access PCI Adapter.
Note:
It can be tricky getting the Wireless Access PCI Adapter into the PCI slot.
Use firm pressure to seat the Wireless Access PCI Adapter properly.
Some computers require you to remove the PC Card from the Wireless
Access PCI Adapter before you insert the Wireless Access PCI Adapter into
the PCI slot. If necessary, pull the PC Card out of the Wireless Access PCI
Adapter and set it aside. Insert the Wireless Access PCI Adapter into the
PCI slot, pressing firmly to seat it properly. Then slide the PC Card through
the slot and into the Wireless Access PCI Adapter. Inserting the PC Card
into the Wireless Access PCI Adapter in this manner can be awkward, so
take your time.
Note:
If you experience any problems installing the Wireless Access PCI
Adapter, try installing it in a different PCI slot.
