Micro-Star International PC2PC Bluetooth

Tested to comply
with FCC Standard

For Home or Office Use

1.1 MSI™ PC2PC Bluetooth

MSI™ PC2PC Bluetooth provides wireless technology
that revolutionizes personal connectivity. It is the solution for
the seamless integration of Bluetooth technology into personal
computers, enabling short-range wireless connections between
desktop/laptop computers, Bluetooth-enabled peripherals
(printers, faxes,...), portable handheld devices, and connec­tivity to the Internet.

1.2 Bluetooth Technology

The term “Bluetooth” refers to a worldwide standard
for the wireless exchange of data between two devices. In or­der to exchange data, two Bluetooth devices must establish a
connection. Before a connection is established, one device must
request a connection with another. The second device accepts
(or rejects) the connection.

The originator of the request is known as the client. The
device that accepts (or rejects) the request is known as the
server. Many Bluetooth devices can act as both client and
server.

A client Bluetooth device runs a software program that
requests a connection to another device as part of its normal
operation. For example, the program may request a connec­tion to a remote computer, a printer, or a modem. Becoming a
Bluetooth client normally requires an action by the device
operator, such as an attempt to browse a remote computer,
print a file, or dial out on a modem.

Every Bluetooth device that provides a service must be
prepared to respond to a connection request. Bluetooth soft­ware is always running in the background on the server, ready
to respond to connection requests.

2.3 Hardware Installation

To integrate the PC2PC Bluetooth into your system,

please follow the instructions below:

1.

Remove the computer case.

For mainboards with bluetooth pinheaders located elsewhere
(not near the PCI slots), ex: MS-6380E, use the linking cable
to secure the identical connector on the transceiving module
to the bluetooth pinheader on the mainboard. Then, fasten the
transceiving module to the mainboard with a bracket screw.

3.

5.

Uncap the transceiving key.

6.

2.

Install the transceiving module onto your mainboard. Proce­dures may differ depending on the location of the bluetooth
pinheader on the mainboard. Please refer to the following:

For mainboards with bluetooth pinheaders located near the
PCI slots, ex: MS-6398E, secure the connector on the lower
part of the transceiving module directly onto the bluetooth
pinheader. Then, fasten the transceiving module to the
mainboard with a bracket screw.

Install and screw up the computer case.

4.

Locate the antenna connector on the transceiving module
bracket at the back panel of the computer case. Secure the
dipole antenna to this connector and fix the antenna to a loca­tion free from signal obstruction. Concrete walls, metal
substances, paints with metal composites,... etc. will cause sig­nal obstruction and disable the bluetooth function.

Plug the transceiving key to an available USB port of the tar­get device with which you wish to establish a wireless bluetooth
connection. The target device can be a desktop PC, a laptop
PC, or any other types of PCs with Windows
ports. Avoid installing the transceiving module and the
transceiving key into the same PC. “Bluetooth” refers to a
worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of services be­tween two devices. In order to exchange services, two Bluetooth
devices must establish a connection. Bluetooth function will
not work if the transceiving module & the transceiving key
are installed into the same device.

Note 1: The transceiving key and the

transceiving module bracket both integrate one
Green (Blue) LED & one Red LED. The Green
(Blue) LED indicates the connection status. The
Red LED indicates the power state.

Note 2: As the bluetooth pinheader shares

the USB interface with blue-colored USB2.0
connector on the mainboard, utilization of
PC2PC Bluetooth will disable the bottommost
USB2.0 port.
