Installing a Mini PCIe Card
The system board is equipped with 2 Mini PCIe slots: one full-size and one half-size slot. Here we
will demonstrate the installation of a full-size Mini PCIe card.
The Mini PCIe sockets are located on the main board; to access the main board, detach the
power board on top of it. Remove the screws that affix the rear bezel as shown in the following
picture to access the power board and uninstall it from the system.
1. Grasp the Mini PCIe card by its edges and align the notch of the PCIe card with the key in
the connector on the system board.
2. Push the Mini PCIe card down and use the provided mounting screw to secure the card on
the system board.
Use a wrench or a screwdriver
with a socket end to remove
the fasteners used on DB-9
