⚙️ Fit Notes

• Match your original wireless card model when possible: 8265NGW
• Confirm your system uses an M.2 2230 Key E / A+E WLAN slot
• This is not a Mini PCIe half-height wireless card
• This is not an M.2 SSD and will not fit M.2 storage slots such as M-Key NVMe or B-Key SATA slots
• This adapter requires two internal antenna leads for full 2x2 Wi-Fi performance
• Bluetooth functionality requires USB signal support through the WLAN slot
• Some notebooks use BIOS wireless card allowlists; verify your system accepts Intel 8265 before ordering
• Some systems shipped with vPro and non-vPro versions; match the original card type when required by your fleet configuration
• Driver installation may be required after replacement
• Server rack systems typically do not use internal WLAN adapters unless the motherboard or embedded board includes a supported M.2 Key E WLAN slot
• Always disconnect power and battery before replacing internal wireless modules
