The DisplayPort is an input for passthrough to USB-C. It might be good to clarify that, in order to reduce misunderstandings. Something like "DisplayPort Input" might be a good label.


### Firmware Flash Button:

- The firmware flash button (labeled `Q-Flash Plus`) is not needed when performing UEFI firmware updates via the System76 Firmware Manager. Use of this button is not recommended.

### Wireless Antenna:

- Thelio Mega R4-N3 ships with an external Gigabyte wireless antenna module. This module should be plugged into the wireless antenna port (labeled `Wifi` on the machine) before WiFi or Bluetooth are used.
- The module can connect in either direction (there's no pin that must be on the left or right).

![Wireless antenna module](./img/wireless-antenna.webp)

### Power Supply Switch Guide:

#### Power Switch:

- 1: On
- 0: Off

#### Fan Curve Switch:

- The PSU fan curve switch (labeled `Smart Zero Fan`) should be set to `ON` for the best fan curve.
