Installing the PCI Adapter

2.With the PC Card facing up (the black arrow will be facing up), insert the card completely into the PCI Adapter. These two devices must be installed together. While the card can be inserted either way, when it is inserted properly, the “Instant Wireless” logo on the front of the card will not be seen. If seen from the opposite side, only a small portion of the barcode and no numbers can be seen when the card is inserted completely. If in doubt, try inserting the card both ways. The card will slide in further when it is correct. Failure to insert the card properly will prevent the equipment from functioning.

3.Open your PC case and locate an available PCI slot on the motherboard. Check with your computer manufacturer for instructions.

4.Slide the PCI Adapter into the PCI slot. Make sure that all of its pins are touching the slot's contacts. You may have to apply a bit of pressure to slide the card all the way in. After the card is firmly in place, secure its fasten- ing tab to your PC's chassis with a mounting screw. Then, close your PC.

5.Power on your desktop PC.
