Adding a Mini PCI-Type Wireless LAN Card (Optional
Device)
Your computer comes with a unique mini PCI card socket, which is
located next to the DRAM socket and underneath the WLAN module
cover. The socket allows the computer to add unique features such as
wireless LAN (IEEE802.11x). Ask your dealer about the availability of
the mini PCI card.
Warning:
Installing a mini PCI card is a delicate process. Please observe the
following instructions carefully or have a qualified technician install it for you. Damages
due to mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Warning:
Installing the mini PCI card while your computer is in suspend or
power-saving mode may cause permanent damage to the hardware. Make sure you
turn off the power and unplug the AC cord before proceeding with a memory upgrade.
