Installing the Mini-PCI Card  
Note  
Because Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter can be  
damaged by static electricity, it is shipped in a static-protective bag.  
v Do not open the static-protective bag until you are replacing the  
Mini-PCI Card.  
v Touch the package to a metal table or a grounded metal object before  
removing the Mini-PCI Card from the bag. This action reduces any  
static electricity from the package and from your body.  
For information on how to install or remove the Mini-PCI Card, see the online  
user’s guide contained on your ThinkPad computer.  
To connect the cables to the Mini-PCI Card, refer to the drawing below  
Note: Plug the gray antenna cable with the tab marked “MAIN” into jack M,  
and the black antenna cable with the tab marked “AUX” into jack A.  
Installing the device driver  
If your computer is a wireless upgradable model, and you are installing the  
Mini-PCI Card for the first time, you need to install the device driver for the  
Card.

Authorized Operation Within the United States and Canada  
The statement below regarding the extended channel mode is applicable when  
the system supports this function. To check the support of this function, please  
see the property of the installed wireless card by refering to the extended  
channel mode enablement instruction.  
For systems with 802.11b wireless function supporting Extended Channel  
Mode,  
This device may only be used with Access Points, which are authorized for use  
within the geography in which they are being used. The use of this device  
with an Access Point that is not Wi-Fi compliant and not authorized to be used  
in your geography could result in violation of government regulations. Consult  
the network administrator, the instruction manual, or the approval label for the  
Access Point to determine the authorization of your Access Point in your  
specific country or geographic region.  
“Extended Channel Mode” should only be selected when the device is  
operated outside the USA and Canada to avoid the unlikely possibility of  
unauthorized operation. The use of this device outside the United States and  
Canada in “Extended Channel Mode” may use frequencies not authorized for  
use in the United States and Canada. When used with an authorized Wireless  
Access Point that is Wi-Fi compliant or in Ad Hoc mode, this device will  
operate in its authorized modes in all geographies.  
Please reconfigure selected frequencies when you travel from one country to  
another.
