What model is that?! It doesn't look like a Z61t - I can see a mini-pci wifi adapter/slot in the picture, not a mini-pci express. Also the fan doesn't look right for the Z61t.

I didn't realize th e Z6xt's and Z6xm's were so different. Thanks for the info.

In this case, the Z60m/Z60t min-pci adapter instructions are here -> http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-61345
