Adding a Mini PCI Card
CAUTION: FCC rules strictly prohibit users from installing 5-GHz (802.11a, 802.11a/b, 802.11a/b/g)
Wireless LAN Mini PCI cards. Under no circumstances should the user install such a device. Only
trained Dell service personnel are authorized to install a 5-GHz Wireless LAN Mini PCI card.
If you are removing and/or installing a 2.4-GHz (802.11b, 802.11b/g) Mini PCI card, follow the instructions
noted below. Only products approved for use in your portable computer may be installed. Approved
Mini PCI cards may be purchased only from Dell.
NOTE: 2.4-G Hz Wireless LAN PC Cards may be removed and installed by the user.
If you ordered a Mini PCI card at the same time that you ordered your computer, Dell has
already installed the card for you.
CAUTION: Before working inside your computer, read the safety instructions in the Product
Information Guide.
NOTE: Handle components and cards by their edges, and avoid touching pins and contacts.
