Installing the Wireless LAN Adapter

Before you begin, examine the PC Card. One end is a dual row 68-pin PC Card connector. This side will be inserted into the PC Card slot with the Aironet logo on the PC Card and the Snap-On antenna facing up. The card is keyed so it can be inserted only one way into the PC Card slot.

CAUTION: The following procedures and physical connections apply generally to normal and conventional PC Card slots. In the cases of custom or non-conventional equipment, be alert to possible differences in PC Card slot configurations.

The PC Card can be connected to a PC Card Type II slot. This includes slots that support both Type II and Type III cards.

CAUTION: Do not force the PC Card into the PC Card slot. Forcing it will damage both the PC Card and the slot. If the PC Card does not go in easily, remove the card and re- insert.

2.Slide the PC Card into the slot until its connector is firmly seated and the slot’s eject button pops out.

Removing the PC Card
