Installing a Mini PCI Card into the System
To install a new mini PCI card, do the following:
1. Follow the steps in the earlier 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.
