As far as I can tell from the pictures, [see
http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/wireless/wireless_n/overview.htm]
these cards have the following connectors:

  - PCIe & USB on the bottom
  - 3 coaxial antenna connectors on the other side
  - two power connections

I'm assuming you are talking about the antenna connectors... AFAICT from the
product brief, it supports either two or three antennas, so that shouldn't be
a problem.

Is the card getting power?
