Chapter 7 2.4-GHz Radio Upgrade
Removing a Blank Spacer Card
Removing a Blank Spacer Card
When your access point is not factory-configured with a 2.4-GHz radio, it contains a blank spacer card
in the internal mini-PCI connector. You must remove the blank spacer card prior to installing a new
2.4-GHz radio card.
Caution Handle all components carefully and observe all ESD precautions. The internal access point components
and the 2.4-GHz radio can be damaged by ESD from improper handling.
To remove the blank spacer card from the mini-PCI connector, following these steps:
Step 1 Push the card-retaining clips (on each side of card) away from the card (see Figure 7-2). When released,
the board springs up.

Step 2
Carefully bend the card near the slots in opposite directions to provide enough clearance to remove the
antenna wires.
