Adding a Mini PCI Card

If you ordered a Mini PCI card with your computer, the card is already installed.

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-GHz Wireless LAN PC Cards may be removed and installed by the user.

CAUTION: Before working inside your computer, read the safety instructions on page 9.

NOTE: Handle components and cards by their edges, and avoid touching pins and contacts.

1Ensure that the work surface is flat and clean to prevent scratching the computer cover.

2Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, and shut down the computer (see "Turning Off Your Computer" on page 41).

3If the computer is connected to a media base (docked), undock it. See the documentation that came with the media base for instructions.
