# Connector Module Deployment Assistant --> Step 1 - Start

Tasks Related Topics

## Overview

The Connector Module Deployment Assistant helps you to deploy a resource adaptor on one or more servers in the domain. You can select either an archived Connector (`.rar` file), or a Connector in exploded `.rar` format.

Use the links in the Location field to browse directories on the Administration Server machine and locate the Connector module to deploy. If the Connector does not reside on the Administration Server machine, first use the upload link to upload the Connector's `.rar` file. This places the Connector in the Administration Server's configured upload directory, and automatically opens that directory in the Location field.

When the assistant detects a `.rar` file or exploded `.rar` directory in the current directory, it lists the archive or directory name as a selection beneath the Location field. Select the name of the archive or directory you want to deploy.

If your domain contains multiple WebLogic Server instances, click Target Module to deploy the Connector to a single server, or to multiple server instances or clusters.

In a single server domain, click Continue to automatically target the Connector to the available server instance.
