(Diagram 2: The illustration for 3 antennas model)

STEP5: Turn on the computer.

[Guidelines for the Hardware Installation]

Please observe the following guidelines when you are installing the PCI card to the
Desktop PC:

Avoid placing the PC close to obstacles
Obstructions such as concrete and thick walls limit radio signal penetration and reduce
the throughput and the coverage range of the PCI card.

Place the PC as high as possible
The higher the PC is placed, the better the performance.

Adjust the antenna position (Depends on the model)

For 2 antennas model

The WLAN PCI card has one antenna for signal reception and another one antenna for
high power signal transmission. The antenna on the right side is for signal reception and
should be set perpendicular (90 degrees). The left side is for signal transmission and
should be set about 90 degree.

For 3 antennas model

The WLAN PCI card has two antennas for signal reception and one antenna for high
power signal transmission. The antennas on the right and left side are for signal
reception and should be set perpendicular (90 degrees) to each other. The central one is
for signal transmission and should be pulled up about 45 degree. Please refer to the
illustration below:
