Check with your computer's manufacturer for instructions.

are touching the slot's contacts. You may have to apply a bit of pressure
to slide the card all the way in.

D. After the Wireless PCI Card is firmly in place, secure its fastening tab to
your PC's chassis with a mounting screw. Then, close your PC's case.

Note: The Wireless PCI Card's antenna is vertically polarized. This
means it has greater transmission and reception range in a circular
area surrounding it, but a shorter range directly above and below. For
maximum capability, the antenna should be oriented so it is perpen-
dicular with the horizon.
E. Attach the external antenna to the Wireless PCI Card's antenna port.
Orient the antenna so that it is perpendicular with the horizon.

F. Power on your desktop PC.
Installation of the Wireless PCI Card is complete.
