what's the adaptor?

if it's usb then just stick it in the usb slot and install drivers

if it's pci then stick it in the pci slot in your motherboard and install drivers.... it may be colored white and near the bottom center of your motherboard. with the computer off and unplugged locate the empty pci slot, use a screwdriver to remove the metal casing covering the opening for the pci slot, slide the device in, then screw it in. after that install the antenna.

You screw it in.

That'll fit as long as you have an open PCI slot, and as oscaryu1 said, you screw the antenna in (not like with a screw, just twist it in).

If you are unsure which one that is. It is the pale colored ones, I always opt for external USB network adapter thingies. That way you can position them to get better reception, also they are far easier to install.
