This article is incorrect. The slot being showed in the diagram is for a WWAN, which is used for connecting to a a cellular network (3G, 4G, LTE, etc). The actual wifi card is tucked under the gray plastic cover at the top right (looking at the first photo) above the CPU fan.

Holy !&&* this is misleading. All of this “Kolin Doyle” person’s guides are idiotic and basic, everybody knows how to take a %#*@ battery out of a laptop! And as Jason said, the guide is totally incorrect, that’s the wrong %#*@ slot for gosh sake; that slot is for a WWAN card that allows connecting to a cellular network, the WiFi card is under the plastic cover on the right, above the heatpipes, and you can even see an antenna cable! Please, mods, delete this incorrect guide and the rest of the guides this person has published; the Latitude e6510 is the easiest laptop to service that I personally own and this guy is making it look hard.
