Installation
Hardware Installation
WARNING! Mini PCI Express cards, like all computer equipment,
can be severely damaged by static electricity. Be sure that you are
properly grounded before opening your computer case or touching
your Mini PCI Express card. StarTech.com recommends that you
wear an anti-static strap when installing any computer component.
If an anti-static strap is unavailable, discharge yourself of any static
electricity build-up by touching a large grounded metal surface
(such as the computer case) for several seconds. Also be careful
to handle the Mini PCI Express card by its edges and not the gold
connectors.
1. Line up and insert the Mini PCI Express card into the Mini PCI
Express slot on the system board. Make sure to match up the
gap in the card edge connector, with the notch in the slot.
2. Secure the card to the motherboard using screws or clips, as
required by your motherboard.
NOTE: Different systems may have different methods for installing
Mini Cards, so please refer to documentation for your system/
board for more specific installation instructions for your
particular application.
3. Attach the wireless antenna cables to the Mini PCI Express card.
