    its really simple. all you do is put it in the slot farthest to the left bottom corner and get the black antennas lines and put it to the according numbers.

    EDIT: here i took pictures from rkcomputer.net and show you.

    [​IMG]
    red outline is where the slot is, blue is where the wires are, might be slightly different. because mine was, i didn't have the wire go all the way to the left like that instead it was near the gpu more.

    and that is what it looks like afterwards.

    Hope this helps.

    One Grey goes to the MCX connector for an internal tv tuner, the other grey is currently not used.

    Most of the people here are buying the Intel 5100/5300 off ebay. Comes to around $25.
