2.4 Mini PCI Express Card
There are 1 mini-PCIe slot and 1 mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot on this motherboard.
mini-PCIe slot:
MINI_PCIE1 (mini-PCIe slot; half size) is used for PCI Express mini cards.
mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot:
MINI_PCIE2 (mini-PCIe/mini-SATA slot; full size) is used for PCI Express mini cards or

In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe
the slots and the expansion cards that they support.
Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing
expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and
damage motherboard components.
2.4.1
Installing an Expansion Card
1. Before installing the expansion card, please make sure that the power supply is switched
off or the power cord is unplugged. Please read the documentation of the expansion card
and make necessary hardware settings for the card before you start the installation.
2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).
3. Remove the bracket facing the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screws for later use.
4. Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated
on the slot.
5. Fasten the card to the chassis with screws.
6. Replace the system cover.
