# Hardware and BIOS:
|
|
|
|
> ## PM981:
|
|
For installation on the factory drive `PM981`, please refer to [Issue #43](https://github.com/tylernguyen/x1c6-hackintosh/issues/43). A note however, installation and upgrading on the `PM981` can be problematic and troublesome. For a smoother experience, replace it with an aftermarket NVMe. For that, refer to [dortania/Anti-Hackintosh-Buyers-Guide](https://dortania.github.io/Anti-Hackintosh-Buyers-Guide/Storage.html).

|
|
> ## WiFi and Bluetooth:
|
|
|
|
Replace factory Intel WiFi module with a macOS compatible one. Make sure that the card is of M.2 form factor. I replaced it with the BCM94360CS2 card. This works out of the box without additional kexts and has been stable for me thus far.
|
|
|
|
**If your laptop did not come with WWAN, you can purchase additional antennas to add to your laptop. This is useful when using WiFi/Bluetooth cards that have 3 antennas.**
|
|
|
|
- The BCM94360CS2 module comes from the 2013 MacBook Air, supports BT 4.0 and 802.11a/g/n/ac. They run on eBay for <\$15.
|
|
- For the BCM94360CS2 to work with the x1c6, you would also need a M.2 NGFF adapter. They run for <\$10 on eBay under "BCM94360CS2 m2 adapter"
|
|
- Above is my current setup.
|
|
|
|
However, there exists other alternatives with better WiFi and Bluetooth standards, but additional kexts are required. See [`dortania/Wireless-Buyers-Guide`](https://dortania.github.io/Wireless-Buyers-Guide/).

> ## BIOS Settings:
|
|
|

At the minimum, these BIOS settings must be made to install and run macOS without any problems:
