Inserting and Removing a Client Adapter
Figure 9-1 Inserting a PC Card or PC-Cardbus Card into a Computing Device
Note The profiles for PC-Cardbus cards are tied to the slot in which the card is inserted. Therefore,
you must always insert your PC-Cardbus card into the same slot or create profiles for both slots.
Inserting a PCI Card
Step 1 Turn off the PC and all its components.
Step 2 Remove the computer cover.
Note On most Pentium PCs, PCI expansion slots are white. Refer to your PC documentation for slot
identification.
Step 3 Remove the screw from the top of the CPU back panel above an empty PCI expansion slot. This screw
holds the metal bracket on the back panel.
Caution Static electricity can damage your PCI card. Before removing the adapter from the anti-static packaging,
discharge static by touching a metal part of a grounded PC.
Step 4 Examine the PCI card. The antenna connector and the LEDs face out of your computer and are visible
when you put the cover back on. The bottom edge of the card is the connector you will insert into an
empty expansion slot in your computer. See Figure 9-2.
