#### Notes on the Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN CardBus Adapter

The Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN CardBus Adapter can only be installed in a CardBus PC Card slot in a suitably equipped computer. The adapter contains a built-in radio antenna that protrudes when inserted into the slot.

The Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN CardBus Adapter allows Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) 3.3-volt Type II PC Card slot-equipped computers to configure, connect to and establish an Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN network.

The exposed end of the Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN CardBus Adapter is vulnerable to damage from scratching, snagging or striking other objects. Such contact may bend or break the adapter or the PC Card slot in which it resides.
