Installing A Mini Pcie Or An Msata Card - DFI KS-SD Series User Manual

Installing a Mini PCIe or an mSATA Card

The system board is equipped with 2 Mini PCIe slots: one full-size and (black connector with
PCIe/USB signals) and one half-size slot (white connector with USB/mSATA signals). Here we will
demonstrate the installation of a full-size Mini PCIe card.
1. Grasp the Mini PCIe card by its edges and align the notch in the connector of the Mini PCIe
card with the notch in the connector on the system board.
2. Push the Mini PCIe card down and use the provided mounting screw to secure the card on
the system board. If antenna cables are used, route them to the antenna holes on the rear
panel of the system.
