Antennas
The antennas route from the WLAN module to transceivers at the top of the computer. The transceivers are
secured to the computer with adhesive.
NOTE: WLAN module orientation may vary.
To remove the antennas:
1. Prepare the computer for disassembly (see Preparing to disassemble the computer on page 31).
2. Remove the access panel (see Access panel on page 37).
3. Remove the system board shield (see System board (EMI) shield on page 48).
4. Remove the top trim (see Top trim on page 45).
5. Disconnect the antennas from the WLAN module (1).
6. Peel the transceivers o the frame (2).
7. Note the routing path for each antenna for replacement (3).
To install the antenna, reverse the removal procedures.
NOTE: When connecting the antennas cables, be sure to match the numbers on the cable with the same
number printed on the WLAN module.
