Hardware Description The HA501 Wireless Adapter has two interfaces: a 32-bit 68-Pin CardBus connector that connects to any notebook PC with an available CardBus slot, and a wireless interface that remains outside of the notebook PC chassis when the Wireless Adapter is inserted into a notebook. There are two green LEDs, Network and Power, that indicate the wireless link condition of the HA501 Wireless Adapter with another wireless node or the associated access point. Wireless Adapter Installation The HA501 802.11a Wireless Adapter is hot swappable, which means that you can insert it into a notebook PC that is either powered on or shut down. You may insert the HA501 Wireless Adapter into any available CardBus slot at any time. Some notebook computers have two CardBus slots; the HA501 Wireless Adapter can be inserted into either slot. Since the HA501 Wireless Adapter transmits and receives radio frequency signals through its antenna, there is no cable needed in the installation. 9
