 Chapter 07: Upgrading Your Sahara Slate PC
Replacing the Wireless Networking Card (Advanced)
Currently there are three standardized wireless networking
protocols: 02.11a, 02.11b, and 02.11g. They offer various
capabilities, transmission speeds and effective ranges. A fourth
protocol, 02.11n, promises higher throughput and a longer
operational range when it becomes a ratified standard.
The Sahara Slate PC was built with this new, impending standard
in mind, and features a user-upgradeable wireless networking
adapter. It should be mentioned, however, that while replacing
the wireless card is not difficult, it is a more delicate and involved
procedure than upgrading the RAM or HDD. If you are
uncomfortable performing this upgrade yourself, please contact
your dealer to arrange for an upgrade at their facility.
Refer to the following instructions and illustrations for
information on how to upgrade your computer’s wireless
networking adapter. Be sure to follow the procedures in the
previous section entitled Before you Begin ANY Upgrade
Procedure.
1. Turn off your computer, turn it over and place it face down
on a solid, flat surface. Be careful not to place it on
something rough that could damage the display screen.
2. Locate the compartment of the
wireless networking adapter
near the right side of the back
panel of the system, just above
the stylus pen holder. Loosen
the two screws that secure the
wireless compartment cover.
3. Lift the cover from the edge
where the screw holes are located to
remove it and set it aside. The wireless networking adapter,
