Upgrading Your Sahara NetSlate
Out of the box, your new Sahara NetSlate is a versatile, mobile
computer capable of accomplishing a wide variety of tasks with
speed and precision. Depending on your system’s configuration,
there are still ways to make your Tablet PC do more and do it
faster. Especially with larger, faster and less expensive hard drives
(and solid state drives) seemingly always just around the corner.
This chapter covers the procedures for inserting a SIM card for
use with the optional 3G networking module, upgrading your
computer’s memory (RAM) and storage capacity (hard disk drive
or solid state drive), as well as using the TabletKiosk Modular
Expansion System.
Before you Begin ANY Upgrade Procedure
Before attempting to add or remove any internal components
within the Sahara NetSlate—with the exception of an expansion
module as they are hot swappable—it is important that you
always observe the following conditions/procedures:
1.
Power off your computer, remove the power cable from the
computer and remove both batteries. Refer to the section
entitled To Remove the Battery Packs in the Getting Started
chapter to see how to remove a battery.
2. Disconnect any networking cables, USB cables and cables
connected to other powered devices.
