HT4259 when i plug in the airport express i can't find it in the aiport utilities

I need help setting up the Airport Exress as an extender of my Airport Extreme.  I am folowing all the instructions and I still cannot find it in the utilities when I open it.

Move the AX to the same room or area as the AirPort Extreme
Please perform a Factory Default Reset of the AirPort Express (AX) as follows:
Power the AX down and wait a few minutes
Hold in the reset button on the AX and keep holding it for 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 40-45 seconds for the AX to display a slow, blinking amber light
Open AirPort Utility and look at the tab in the upper right corner of the screen and you should see.....
Other AirPort Base Stations (1)
Click on this tab, then click on AirPort Express xxxxxx
AirPort Utility will take a few minutes to analyze your network and suggest that the AX be configured to extend your network
Accept this choice and wait another few minutes for the configuration
You should receive a message that the AX has been configured and see a green light
Unplug the AX and move it to a location that is approximately half the distance from the AirPort Extreme to the area that needs more wireless coverage.
