4. Asennusopas
4.1 Asennusta edeltävät tarkastukset
- Yhteensopivuus: Verify that your laptop or desktop motherboard has an available M.2 slot (E-key or A-E key compatible) for network adapters.
- BIOSin sallittujen luettelo: Some older laptops may have a BIOS whitelist that prevents non-approved Wi-Fi cards from functioning. Check your device manufacturer's documentation if you encounter issues.
- antennit: Ensure your device has compatible antenna cables for connection to the new network adapter.
4.2 Fyysinen asennus
- Virta pois: Shut down your computer completely and disconnect it from all power sources.
- Sisäisten komponenttien käyttö: Open your laptop or desktop case to access the motherboard. Refer to your computer's service manual for specific instructions on how to do this.
- Paikanna M.2-paikka: Identify the M.2 slot designated for wireless cards. It typically has a small screw at the end.
- Poista vanha kortti (jos sovellettavissa): If replacing an existing card, carefully disconnect the antenna cables and remove the retaining screw, then gently slide out the old card.
- Aseta uusi kortti: Align the Intel Wireless AC 9260 card with the M.2 slot. Gently push the card into the slot at an angle until it is fully seated.
- Suojattu kortti: Press the card down and secure it with the small screw.
- Kytke antennit: Carefully connect the antenna cables to the corresponding connectors on the Intel 9260 card. The connectors are very small and require precision. Typically, the "MAIN" antenna connects to the "MAIN" port (often labeled 2) and the "AUX" antenna connects to the "AUX" port (often labeled 1). Use a magnifying glass if necessary. Avoid forcing the connectors.
