PCI Express to Mini PCI Express Adapter Card
Installation
1. Insert the mini PCI Express card into the slot connector at
an angle. Make sure to properly line up the notch in the slot
connector with the notch on the mini PCIe connector.
2. Once the mini PCIe card is fully inserted into the slot, push the card
back against the adapter board. Fasten the mini PCIe card to the
board with the small mounting screws provided. Make sure not to
over-tighten the screws, or you may damage the mini PCIe card.
3. Turn your computer off and any peripherals connected to the
computer (i.e. Printers, external hard drives, etc.). Unplug the
power cable from the rear of the power supply on the back of the
computer.
4. Remove the cover from the computer case. See documentation
for your computer system for details.
5. Locate an open PCI Express slot and remove the metal cover plate
on the rear of the computer case (Refer to documentation for your
computer system for details.). Note that this card will work in PCI
Express slots of additional lanes (i.e. x4, x8 or x16 slots).
OPTIONAL:
If installing the card into a low profile system, remove
the full height bracket on the card and replace with the included low
profile bracket.
6. Insert the card into the open PCI Express slot and fasten the
bracket to the rear of the case.
OPTIONAL:
If the mini PCIe card is USB-based, then connect a USB
cable from the card (header or B connector) to a USB connector on/
inside the computer system.
7. Place the cover back onto the computer case.
8. Insert the power cable into the socket on the power supply and
reconnect all other connectors removed in Step 1.
