intel dual band wireless ac 7260, super micro x10slv-q

[Sp_7577]

Hey
I want to install the intel wireless band ac 7260 in the super micro x10slv-q motherboard.
I have never opened a laptop before so I know how to insert the card in the slot but dont know what to do with the antennas and how to put it.
Also the necessary drivers for the same.

Thanks

okay so I did that.
I dont think the PC detected it.
How do I see if the drivers are already installed or not?

Go to Control Panel then Network and Sharing center, then click "Change Adapter settings" on the left, it should show all network connections and what hardware is connected.

Laptop? Thats a Mini ITX server motherboard.

The antennas should just plug into it and put them up as high as you can.

If that is the case where did you get "supermicro x10SLV-q motherboard" That is definitely not the motherboard in your laptop.

I have a separate cpu with that motherboard and have to connect and then check drivers on the dell system..

Ok so there are 2 different Intel 7260 cards, theres one for a laptop which is a tiny PCIe slot card with no antennas, and there is a standard PCIe x1 slot card which would go into the supermicro board, and that does have antennas.

Which do you have and what are you trying to do?

I have the ones with the antennas , I connected it to the pcie card and fixed the card on the motherboard.. Now it isnt mentioned which of teh antennas 5ghz or the 2,4 ghz should be connected to the port 1?
And after fixing it what do I need to do.

Ok so the antenna should just have 2 cables, the 2.4 ghz cable goes to the top port. After that once you start the PC Windows should detect it.
