    I'm trying to figure out the OEM options on a particular toughbook that seems to have an unusual model number:

    CF-30EWQ04BM

    From reading toughwiki.com, the "E" is not mentioned?

    Also, the 04 should indicate that it has GPS+Bluetooth as well as EVDO WWAN. However, I do not see a GPS option in BIOS nor does the unit have the "bump" antenna.

    Anyone have any idea whats up with this?

    Also, if the unit does NOT have the gps installed and I went and installed an OEM unit, would BIOS magically show the GPS option or would I need to switch out the bios?

    Thanks for the info!
