your subscriber ID, billing information, and network permissions. The card allows you to easily
transport your subscriber information to another computer or subscriber device.
You must have a SIM card installed in order to use your Gobi radio to connect to a WWAN
network. For instructions on installing your SIM card, see
Installing the SIM Card.
Secure Digital (SD) Card Reader Support
The ARMOR X7 also provides a card reader for a micro SD or SDHC card. These cards can
provide enhanced features such as extended communications capabilities, access authorization
and additional memory capacity. The SD card slot is located inside the rear compartment.
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Support
The X7 supports the Infineon SLB 9635 TPM controller module. This module meets the
requirements of the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Trusted Platform Module Specification
