2 INSTALLATION
Introduction
Before Installing the 3Com Wireless PCI Card, be sure you read and follow the precautions listed here:
■Network cards are sensitive to static electricity.
To protect the card, always touch the metal chassis of your computer before handling the card.
■Be sure to turn off power to your computer before you plug in or remove a wireless PCI card.
Card Installation Procedure
1Turn off power to your desktop computer and unplug the power cord.
2Remove the cover of your computer.
3Locate an empty PCI slot and remove its slot cover. Save the screw.
4Carefully insert the PCI card into the selected slot until it seats snugly (see Figure 2). The shielded part of the wireless PCI card protrudes from the card faceplate and juts out beyond the back panel of your computer when the card is installed.
