Chapter 06: 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
USB 2X2
adds two additional USB 2.0 ports.
v
WWAN
module adds 3G data capability, and soon 4G data
capability.
v
MSR
module features a Magtek Magnetic Stripe Reader for
credit card and ID card data capture.
v
P.O.S.
is a combo module that adds 2D/1D barcode scan-
ning, a Magtek Magnetic Stripe Reader for credit card and ID
card data capture capability, and (optionally) a 3G module
for sending all the data back remotely.
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 a510 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).
