Hi! I have a problem to connecting the antennas of the WiFi module on this motherboard. The diagram (in manual) does not correspond with the type of module on this FM2+ motherboard. It is therefore not indicated; How to "connect" the antennas to the module.  Can you help me please ??

In the pic above, adjacent to the 8-pin CPU Power, there are two small antenna connection "points' on the card itself. These are where the two antenna cables connect to the WiFi/BT card. |

Do what I do and remove the card from the board and connect the two outside the case where it isn't so cramped they're hard to view and fiddle with. Where you have more room and better lighting. |

This is the correct way to do it (at least IMO), attaching them while the card is installed puts unnecessary stress on the slot and card that can cause damage to either. -------------
