PCI Express Cards
5.1.1 PCI Express Card Types
The New Card slot supports one 54mm type PCI Express Card. It
supports both USB 2.0 and PCI Express technology, which improves bus
speed in data transfer and requires less power than PC Cards.
A PCI Express Card is not a bootable device.
5.1.2 Installing a PCI Express Card
PCI Express Cards, with hot-plug feature, allow you to install and remove
cards when your notebook is running. The card will be detected
automatically when installed.
Usually Express Cards have a mark or symbol to show which end to insert
into the slot. Insert the card according to the orientation symbol, and slide
the card into the slot. Check the documents that came with your card if the
orientation is unclear.
1. Press to release the dummy card from the New Card slot.
2. Hold the PCI Express card with its orientation symbol pointing into
the slot and the topside of the card facing up.
3. Slide the card into the slot until it clicks into the connector.
4. If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check
the card orientation and try again.
