Expansion Slots
Mini PCIe
The Mini PCIe sockets allow for Mini PCIe modules that support multiple expansion modules.
The Mini PCIe connector supports half-size Mini PCIe modules for PCIe and USB2.0 with LPC-
signals.
M.2 Socket
The M.2 socket is the Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF) which is designed to support mul-
tiple modules and make the M.2 more suitable in application for solid-state storage. The board
preserves space and a standoff for the M.2 M key socket (22mm x 80mm). The M.2 M key
supports SATA, PCIe, and reset signals.
