• BIOS Whitelist: Some older laptops may have a BIOS whitelist that prevents non-approved Wi-Fi cards from functioning. Check your device manufacturer's documentation if you encounter issues.
• Antene: Ensure your device has compatible antenna cables for connection to the new network adapter.

4.2 Fizička instalacija

1. Isključivanje: Shut down your computer completely and disconnect it from all power sources.
2. Pristup unutarnjim komponentama: Open your laptop or desktop case to access the motherboard. Refer to your computer's service manual for specific instructions on how to do this.
3. Pronađite M.2 utor: Identify the M.2 slot designated for wireless cards. It typically has a small screw at the end.
4. Uklonite staru karticu (ako je primjenjivo): If replacing an existing card, carefully disconnect the antenna cables and remove the retaining screw, then gently slide out the old card.
5. Umetnite novu karticu: Align the Intel Wireless AC 9260 card with the M.2 slot. Gently push the card into the slot at an angle until it is fully seated.
6. Sigurna kartica: Press the card down and secure it with the small screw.
7. Povežite antene: Carefully connect the antenna cables to the corresponding connectors on the Intel 9260 card. The connectors are very small and require precision.
