Mini-PCI Slot

Mini-PCI Slot
Your notebook computer features a Mini-PCI slot which supports the installation of an additional expansion
card.
Note: if your notebook features Wireless LAN capabilities, this slot cover is not available; it is already fitted
with the Wireless LAN expansion card.

Installing a Mini-PCI Card

1. Power off the system and disconnect the AC power cord from the wall and the system.
Disconnect any other external devices.
2. On the bottom of the Versa, remove the
screw (A) securing the Memory & Mini-
PCI Bay cover.
3. Lift the bay cover and set it aside.
Note: you may need to use the tip of a small knife
to pop up the slot cover. Gently insert the blade
under the screw hole, and slide the blade outwards
to the left until the tab is released. Repeat this
operation sliding the blade to the right to release
the second tab.
4. Align the notch on the expansion card
with the notch in the slot connector and
install the card as follows:
Hold the card at a 60-degree angle
and align its connector with the slot
in the system. Push the connector
firmly into the slot.
Press down on the edge of the
card opposite to the connector until
the locking tabs on the sides snap
into place, securing the card.
5. Replace the Memory & Mini-PCI Bay cover, making sure the three tabs on the back edge are
lined up in their respective slots, and press on the two tabs located on each side of the screw
hole in order to secure the cover.
6. Secure the screw that was removed during step 2.
