how to connect intel 4965 antenna

there are three terminals in intel 4965 wireless card, marked as 1(TR1) 2(TR2) 3(R0), while three antennas with color as black, gray and white, so which color should connect to which terminal? thanks for info.

 

If its like my Zepto, then black and white at each side and grey in the middle.

See the attached pic.

See if Dell's service manual explains which color is what. You can find the service manual for your model at dell.com, support section.

 

thanks John for the picture, swarmer: Dell's service manual never explains.

 

tried intel and dell's driver (dell driver seems to be newer) but can't bring this card on although intel 3945 works fine. device manger always shows "This device can't start" etc., i guess this card is probably a dead one.

 

Hi,

My name is Todd and I'm with Dell's online outreach program. My team is designed to try to help customers via forums, blogs, and other online sites.

I pulled up the online service manual from our support site. If you click on the section entitled Communication Cards and it lists the following for the Vostro 1400.

"Connect the appropriate antenna cables to the WLAN card you are installing:


If the WLAN card has two triangles on the label (white and black), connect the white antenna cable to the connector labeled "main" (white triangle), and connect the black antenna cable to the connector labeled "aux" (black triangle).

If the WLAN card has three triangles on the label (white, black, and gray), connect the white antenna cable to the white triangle, connect the black antenna cable to the black triangle, and connect the gray antenna cable to the gray triangle."

Here is the direct link to the service manual.

That may be more helpful for you. We have both User Guides and Service Manuals for a lot of our systems. The Service Manuals tend to have more of the step by step directions for fixing hardware while the User Guides give more of a "how do I... " information, in case you've been looking at the User Guides in the past.

Let me know if that helps, or if you need other information.

Thank you,

"If the WLAN card has three triangles on the label"...but unfortunately this card has no such signs.

 

Are the connections marked as Main, Aux, etc?

 

did you see the attached photo in John's message from above?

 

Hi,

I'll see if I can pull one from the lab, where I can get a better look at the cards and connections, to check if I can see the labels.

Thank you,

I don't find the gray cable in inspiron 1525, i find another three cables: 1 half white/gray, 1 white/black and 1 Blue.
