Installing a 2.4-GHz Radio
Step 5 Insert the radio card into the access point’s mini-PCI connector by following the steps below:
a. Tilt the radio card at approximately 20
o
to 30
o
so that its gold pins are aligned with the mini-PCI
connector (see Figure 22-4).
b. Push the card into the mini-PCI connector until it clicks into place.
Step 6 Carefully push the card down (towards the access point’s motherboard) until the card-retaining clips lock
into the notches on the side of the radio card (you will hear a click).
Step 7 Carefully position the antenna wires so that the metal connectors do not touch each other.
Caution Damage to the radio could occur if the antenna connectors are touching when power is applied. If they
are touching, carefully rotate them in opposite directions until they are separated.
Step 8 Reinstall the 2.4-GHz radio access cover and use the T-10 tamper-resistant Torx L-wrench to tighten the
cover’s retaining screw.
Step 9 Remove the backing paper from the 2.4-GHz radio product compliance label.
Step 10 Carefully attach the label in the space provided below the access point’s product compliance label as
shown in Figure 22-5.
