iBook: Wireless Antenna Placement When Not Used

This article provides information on ensuring the wireless antenna cable remains secured when not in use.
If your iBook does not have the AirPort Card installed, the antenna cable needs to be secured to ensure it does not come in contact with the logic board. Such contact could damage the iBook logic board.

Refer to Figure 1 for placement of the antenna cable under the wire bracket.
