Help Identifying and locating bracket - 0KL03ZP

Question

I kept this old card from (I believe it was an Inspiron SFF who's system board died). It is a DELL Wireless adapter that plugs into a PCIe 1x slot and has an external antenna (small block looking device). The only number I can find on the card is 0KL03ZP (the box for it has Dell 0RU297 on it). I took some pictures of the cards.

I am looking to see if there is a normal-profile bracket for this. It has a low-profile attached, and there as not another bracket with it.

you can also just get an old Dell long bracket (full height card) DW1540 since it is so cheap https://www.ebay.com/itm/125735677434?

I think Dell only made low profile brackets for these adapters. It supports wireless N, which is very slow for today internet needs. They can be had for as low as $5 USD. It isn't feasible to spend any investment into the bracket.

If a PCIe wireless adapter is needed, shop for a WiFi 6 (AX) wireless adapter. A generic unit costs around $13 USD on the auction site.

in addition to what chino said, you would need a puck like Dell antenna (WX492) for this kind of Dell wifi card. see the proprietary socket at the bracket of card. if you do not have the antenna not worth investing it because it is not standard SMA rod shaped antenna.

but if you have everything just concerned about the short bracket, you can remove the bracket and install the card albeit a bit less secure.

DW1530 card is miniPCIe (similar to mSATA interface) aka mini card, not M.2

@redxps630​   I have the PUCK for it.  I just need a bracket.  I just did not want to trash it if I can replace the WIFI card in there and get it to work.

redxps630 · Answer

you can try remove the bracket and use the card without any bracket. the bracket is just screwed on the card with those two screws that can be easily removed. that is a temporary way of using short bracket card in full height pc.

if the wifi mini PCIe card is defective then yes you can get a cheap replacement card while keeping the rest of Dell adapter.

redxps630 · Answer

yes you can replace the miniPCIe card easily if the one in now is not working. the short bracket can be easily removed by removing two screws shown in your 2nd pic.

Thanks All - I was able to find and purchase a Normal-Bracket card (no Puck) - I guess I will just have a spare.  Strange that the thing did not originally come with both brackets - or have a separate part number for the brackets alone.

redxps630 · Answer

yes some of these have both short and long brackers. just hard to find the DP/N of the bracker. and tbh the price of a single bracket is about the same as an entire card. true it is better not to waste but I suppose you can sell the short bracket card to someone else who needs it.
