Note: What are the advantages of WLN-P over a conventional WLAN USB stick?

1) The Mini-PCIe card sits in the case and is better protected from tampering and theft.

2) The integrated solution is more appealing.

3) For the best possible efficiency the antenna should be at least 6cm long (half a wavelength at 2.4 GHz) which is a big advantage over the USB stick.

4) This WLAN card is a Combo card which supports both WLAN and Bluetooth.

5) The transmission protocol of Mini-PCIe cards is less complex as compared to USB which helps keep processor load lower.

Shuttle WLN-P – Quick Installation Guide

Please install with reference to the following steps:

Due to safety reasons, please turn off your computer completely first and unplug it from the power supply.

1. Unfasten two screws on the back panel and

remove the case cover.

2. Use a 6mm screwdriver to puncture the perforated hole on the back panel from the outside in. Once the screwdriver passes through the perforation, carefully remove the metal tag.

If the metal tag still does not detach, carefully bend it by pushing down from the inside of the chassis.

3. Take the wireless kit out of its box.

4. As shown, unfasten the screw first. Install

the Mini PCIe card into the Mini PCIe slot and affix it with a screw.

5. Take out the two appropriate antenna cable connectors (either 2x 53cm for XPC cube or 21+29cm for XPC slim) and remove the locks and protective sleeves. Then connect them to the Mini PCIe card.

6. Install the antenna cable connectors through the appropriate openings at the back of the chassis.

When leading the cable connectors through the openings, check the socket alignment and only push horizontally.

Do NOT turn or twist the cable. Should any difficulties occur, make sure

the surface is clean. Finally, check the alignment again and carefully apply more force.

7. Use the lock to affix the antenna from the

outside.

8. Replace the case cover and fasten its screws.

9. Screw the antenna into position as pictured. Make sure it is aligned vertically to achieve the best possible signal reception.
