How Do I Get a Low Profile PCI Wireless Card?
- 1). Go to any computer retail store. You want a larger store that sells computer hardware and upgrades.
- 2). Look on the packaging for "low profile." If the package doesn't say low profile than it is not the correct PCI wireless card.
- 3). Avoid products that are "mini PCI." Mini PCI cards are completely different and don't work on the same PCI card slot in your computer.
- 4). Power down your computer and remove all of the cables connected to it. Unscrew the screws around the back side of the computer with a Phillips screwdriver. Slide off the computer case to reveal the interior of the computer.
- 5). Insert the new low profile PCI wireless card. Long the motherboard (the large electrical panel) there are several open slots. Slide the low profile PCI wireless card into the available slot.
- 6). Push the slot locking levers on the sides of the PCI slot down to lock the card into place. You can now close the computer and reattach the screws and cables.
