It is a very tricky situation because the series was built from July 2014 to August 2016. The latest BIOS may only support following options

• Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 802.11 AC 2x2 WiFi + BT 4.0 Combo Adapter
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11 a/b/g/n (2x2) combination WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 WLAN module
• Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260AN 802.11 a/b/g/n (2x2) combination WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 WLAN module for use in Indonesia

It is much better to use the above list due to the age of it rather say sorry.

The Intel 7260 AC/7260 N Wi-Fi card was the only model offered in your notebook's model series.

See chapter 3 of the service manual:

HP EliteBook Folio 9480m Notebook PC Maintenance and Service Guide

If you want to experiment with a newer model Wi-Fi card, see if this one works:
