4 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Step-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).

(7) Connect the external antenna (or SMA connector cable for test equipment) to the
RF connector on the module.
Figure 7: RF connector on the module
(8) Connect the headset into the audio jack. 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.

NOTES:
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).
