4 HARDWARE INSTALLATIONStep-by-step instructions:(1) Insert the module skew into the cradle and (2) push the module down, so it makes proper contact in the PCI Express connector. (3) Secure the module with the locking mechanism.Remark: Fasten the screw of the locking mechanism when it becomes too loose by holding one finger on top of the screw and turning the leg in counter clockwise direction. Figure 5: Module and Cradle board(4) Carefully insert your SIM card in the SIM card holder (with the contact side up), and (5) insert the holder into the socket, making sure it is aligned correctly. (6) To open the SIM card holder, press the small eject button with the tip of a pen (you may need to apply gentle force).

Next, (9) connect the power supply plug (the adapter should already be connected to the mains) to the evaluation platform. And when you are ready you can (10) connect the USB cable from the GTM cradle to your PC. At this point your module should be detected by the host PC. Proceed with the next Chapter. Figure 8: Top to bottom: USB cable, power plug and audio jackNOTES:In case a hard reset of the unit is necessary, unplug the power supply and wait until the power led (led closest to the fan) is fully extinguished before reconnecting the power supply (A large buffer capacitor on the cradle board needs about 10 seconds to discharge).10798GLOBETROTTER QUICK START GUIDE PAGE: 8 of 30AUTHOR: G.
