Installation
Hardware Installation
The ExpressCard adapter will simply slide into the ExpressCard slot
on any compatible system. Push the card all the way in, until it ‘clicks’
and locks into place. To eject the card, simply push the card further into
the slot until it clicks, and then release and it will then be automatically
ejected from the slot.
NOTE: Some ExpressCard/54 slots do not firmly hold an
ExpressCard/34 card so a 34mm to 54mm stabilizer bracket may be
necessary (StarTech.com ID: ECBRACKET).
Connect the Ethernet cable from your router/switch/LAN drop to the
RJ45 connector on the card. The “gigabit” LED should light up when
connected at gigabit speeds while the “100” LED should light up when
connected to 100Mbps speeds. No LED will light up when connected
at 10Mbps speeds.
