2. Hardware Installation 
2.1 System Requirements 
Before installing WLP-01, make sure your system meets the following requirements. 
•  A motherboard with PCI Express Slot 
•  Minimum 64MB system memory 
•  Operating system 
Station mode: Windows XP/Server 2003, Windows XP/Server 2003 x64 
AP/wireless bridge mode: Windows XP/Server 2003

2.2 Hardware Installation 
The WLP-01 package comes together with an omni-directional portable antenna to extend its 
maximum operating range. 
1. 
Power off your system before installing 
the WLP-01 card. 
 
(This picture is for reference only, and may have 
size, shape, or parts differences in the antenna or 
WLAN card itself.) 
2. 
Locate one available PCI-E X1 slot on 
your motherboard. (Due to each 
motherboard’s different designing, 
it is recommended to install the 
WLP-01 card on PCI-E X1 slot, so as 
to avoid degrading the speed of the 
PCI-E X16 card.) 
3. Plug 
the 
WLP-01 card with its 
connector-side vertically down into the 
slot. (Avoid touching the connector 
(golden fingers) when holding the 
WLP-01 card.) 
4. Secure 
the 
WLP-01 card by its bracket 
onto the chassis’s rear I/O panel. 
5. 
Connect the cable-end from the external antenna to the antenna port on WLP-01 card. 
6. 
Place the antenna at an elevated spot. A wide and open position will help to increase the 
operating range.
