NOTES AND DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS
|
| Check for Damage |
Visually inspect the PCI wireless card for a missing faceplate and or loose or damaged antenna connector. If the card is missing it's antenna replace it.
|
| Seat Card & Turn On |
Place The Wireless Card into the PCI slot on the external motherboard and click the Power On wire. (eBeth stopped here, the following is for video card testing)
|
| Plug In & Turn On |
Attach the monitor cable to the video card, if required ask for an adapter. Turn the computer on and let the program run until it tells you what the card is.
|
| Determine Card Status |
Recycle in the yellow bin IF:
- the card does not post
- it is an AGP that is under 64 MB
Keep IF:
- the card posts
- is a PCI or PCI-Express regardless of size
- is an AGP 64 MB or bigger
Send all cards that say Macintosh to Mac Land without testing.
|
| Create Card Label |
Record what the screen says on a label. Make sure to include: Vendor, Model, and Memory.
It should say something like: (Voodoo Banshee 64 MB) or (RIVA TNT 64 MB) or (Nvidia gf2 gts nv11 64 MB) or (Radeon 7000 R100 64 MB). This Label is to be placed on the Video Card.
The software sometimes lies, check the list of cards if you suspect a slow read on a nice looking card may be incorrect
|
| Power Down |
Turn off the computer and remove the video card. It's faster to turn off the computer with the power supply switch rather than using software controls.
|
| Put it away |
Bring to appropriate area determined by the type of card it is.
- AGP with 64 MB go to BUILD
- AGP with more than 64 MB go into the STORE BOX
- All PCI go into the STORE BOX
- All PCI-Express go to the TARDIS
