Unscrew and remove the cover to reveal the Mini PCI slot.
Examine the Mini PCI card to locate a notch. This should line up with a plastic tab in the Mini PCI slot, showing you the correct orientation for the card. Lower the card into the slot at an angle. Once the card is fully in the slot, push it down. The slot’s retaining clips will lock the card into place.

Your laptop may have one or two internal antenna cables; when a second cable is present, it helps to improve wireless reception in areas where the signal is weak. Generally, the main antenna cable is black, or black with a white stripe. Place this cable over the “Main” connector on the Mini PCI card, and place the other cable over the “Aux” connector. Replace the plastic cover and screw it down.Two Pieces 85Mbps PowerLine Communication Adapters
