Installing an AirPort Card

If your computer did not come with an AirPort Card, you can purchase one from your Apple- authorized dealer or from the Apple Store at www.apple.com/store and install it yourself or have it installed by an Apple-authorized service provider.

To install an AirPort Card in your PowerBook, remove the back of your computer. Follow the instructions in the previous section, “Removing the Internal Hard Disk” on page 78, then follow these steps:

1If your AirPort Card came with the AirPort adapter, remove the metal clip and pull the AirPort Card from the adapter. (The adapter and metal clip are not used with your PowerBook.)

2Touch a metal surface inside the computer to discharge any static electricity.

3Disconnect the AirPort antenna from its holder.
