Caution By law, only approved wireless modules provided by Gateway, or a
Gateway authorized representative, explicitly for the Gateway M275
may be installed in this convertible tablet PC.
Caution Legal requirements dictate that a security screw (or other means) be
used to attach the mini-PCI cover plate to the system board in a
manner that restricts end user access. End users are strictly
prohibited from having access to the wireless card. Gateway M275
convertible tablet PCs require a Torx head security screw to attach
the mini-PCI cover plate.
Caution Legal requirements dictate the mini-PCI cover plate be in place during
any and all operation of the convertible tablet PC’s wireless feature.
