Step 1: Software and Driver Installation

select your CD-ROM drive and double-click on the folder named “Files”.

Next double-click on the icon named “start.exe”.

INSTALLING THE CARD

Step 2: Installing the Card into your PC

1. POWER OFF THE COMPUTER AND DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD.

2. Remove the screws that secure the computer cover and remove the cover.

3. Touch any metal part of the case to ground yourself. This will discharge any

static electricity that could damage your product or your computer.

4. Locate an empty PCI expansion slot. Confirm that the Card will fit into the

slot you have chosen.

5. Remove the port cover from the back of the PC that corresponds to the PCI

slot you selected. If there is a screw, place it in a safe place as you will be

using it to attach the Card to the computer chassis later.

6. Push the Card firmly into the PCI slot that you have chosen. Apply pressure

as needed until the connector is fully seated.

7. Now secure the Card with the screw that you previously placed in a safe place.

8. Carefully screw the antenna’s gold

connector onto the threaded

connector on the Card until it

is finger-tight. Do not use a

wrench to tighten the connector.

Place the antenna on top of the

computer’s case or on top of

your desktop while taking care

to keep it away from any solid

metal objects.

9. Replace the computer’s cover.

10.Now that the Card is installed,

you can reconnect all of the

cables and turn the computer

back on. Proceed to Step 3.

turn your computer back on and let it boot up.

2. Windows will detect that new hardware has been installed. Depending on

which version of Windows you are using, a window similar to the one

pictured below will appear. Select the option that will automatically install

the software.

3. If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you may see a screen similar

to the one below. This does not mean there is a problem. Select

“Continue Anyway”.
