Upgrading Your Sahara NetSlate
Using the TabletKiosk Modular Expansion System
Your Sahara NetSlate features a modular expansion system that
allows you to add task purposed functionality to your Tablet PC
simply by adding specific modules. Examples of these modules
include:
v ™
WWAN module adds 3G and 4G data capability, by enabling
the use of a USB WWAN module.
v ™
P.O.S. module features a Magtek Magnetic Stripe Reader for
credit card and ID card data capture.
v ™
SCAN+WWAN module adds 2D/1D barcode scanning and
the ability to use a 3G or 4G/LTE USB WWAN module.
Based upon Universal Serial Bus (USB) technology, TabletKiosk
expansion system modules are hot swappable. This means you
can add or remove modules without having to shut down or
restart the system.
As with other standard USB peripherals, if your module came
with a device driver disc, or the module’s instructions tell you to
download a device driver, do so and then install the device driver
BEFORE you plug in the module for the first time.
To attach an expansion module:
1.
Turn the Sahara NetSlate a525 around so you are looking at
the back of the system. Locate the expansion port’s cover
located on the top left above the battery one (1) bay.
2.
Remove the two (2)
screws holding the cover
in place (use a #1 Philips
head screw driver).
