W_​Disable1# (GPIO)

O

Used for Wi-Fi* RF-Kill control.

This pin can be connected to a platform switch or to Processor GPIOs (recommendation- if possible do not use GPIOs that have Platform impact as “bootstraps” during platform init).

The signal must keep value in Sx state (configured in BIOS)

The W_​Disable signal have a Pull-up embedded in the CRF silicon, (this is an Active-Low signal).

W_​Disable2# (GPIO)

O

Used for Bluetooth* RF-Kill control.

This pin can be connected to a platform switch or to Processor GPIOs (recommendation- if possible do not use GPIOs that have Platform impact as “bootstraps” during platform init).

The signal must keep value in Sx state (configured in BIOS)
