installed option card.

Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the power outlet.

3. Remove the screws that hold the backplate to the enclosure body, then lift the backplate away from the

enclosure and set it aside.

Installing the WLAN Option Card

Option cards are not hot-pluggable. Disconnect power to the unit before installing the WLAN
option card.

section.

2. Carefully align the WLAN option card onto the proper connector on the CPU board (see the respective

product’s installation manual).

3. Press down firmly to seat the option card in the CPU board connector.

4. Use the standoffs provided in the option kit to secure the option card to the mounting holes on the CPU

board.

5. Set up the WLAN configuration parameters as explained on Section 4.6 on page 13.

6. Make connections to the option card as required. Use cable ties to secure loose cables inside the

enclosure. When installation and configuration is complete, reassemble the enclosure.
