Installing a Mini PCI Card into the System

To install a new Mini PCI card, do the following:

1. Follow the steps in the previous section, Installing a memory module

(DIMM) into the system, to access the Mini PCI Socket.

2. The mini PCI card will only ﬁt in one direction. Align the small notch in the

module with the socket on the connector and insert the card at an angle of

approximately 30 degrees into the empty socket. Then press it ﬁrmly so that

the contact edge is driven into the receiving socket. Pivot the mini PCI

card until the latches on both sides of the socket snap into place.

Note: If you want to remove a mini PCI card from the socket, press out on the latches

located on both edges of the socket at the same time. The card should pop up to an

angle of 30 degrees.
