T61p - fitting Wireless USB Adapter into spare slot

#1 Post by twr7cx » Wed Sep 02, 2009 7:46 pm

So while installing my 1GB Intel Turbo Memory Module I noticed that I have another spare slot:

A little flick through the Hardware Maintenance Manual indicates that this slot is for Wireless USB Adapter. From what I can see the FRU numbers that I need are:

42T0885 Mini PCI Express UWB Ultra Wide Band (Wireless USB) Adapter
93P4520 UWB antenna assembly

Anything else to consider? Does this module have a status light (i.e. the status light bars on the right hand side below the LCD monitor - will I need to replace those with a set with the status light for this module?)?

For a bit of extra fun I thought I'd install the 42X3919 SIM card slot as well (yes I realise it will do nothing since I don't have the rest of the WWAN hardware, but it's a start).

Next 42X3919 SIM card slot, 42T0885 UWB WUSB Adapter and 93P4520 UWB antenna.

According to the Hardware Maintenance Manual, the Bluetooth and WUSB status lights are in the same spot (how this works I'm not sure):
