section on page 2-7 for instructions.
Inserting a PCI Client Adapter
Step 1 Turn off the PC and all its components.
Step 2 Remove the computer cover.
On most Pentium PCs, PCI expansion slots are white. Refer to your PC documentation for slot
identification.
Step 3 Remove the screw from the top of the CPU back panel above an empty PCI expansion slot. This screw
holds the metal bracket on the back panel.
Caution Static electricity can damage your client adapter. Before removing the adapter from the antistatic
packaging, discharge static by touching a metal part of a grounded PC.
Step 4 Examine the client adapter. The antenna connector and the LEDs face out of your computer and are
visible when you put the cover back on. The bottom edge of the adapter is the connector that you will
insert into an empty expansion slot in your computer. See Figure 2-3.
