Hardware Installation
The Mini PCI adapter is installed in the PC by connecting the 124-pin card edge connector to the mating
connector on the PC system board.
Service should only be performed by a qualified technician.
To reduce the risk of damage to the adapter or the PC, the following precautions must be
observed when installing the adapter:
Installation should only be performed in an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) controlled
environment. All personnel must wear a properly grounded wrist strap and an anti- static
smock while handling the card.
The work area should be free of prime static generators such as Styrofoam, Styrofoam cups,
styrene containers, any unauthorized plastic tapes or labels, any plastic items (pens, file
folders, etc.) and any synthetic or vinyl material. Necessary paperwork should be kept in a
static dissipative bag away from the card and the PC.
Masking tape, scotch tape and other adhesive tapes shall not be applied directly to the card.
Adhesive labels specified by assembly drawing or instruction may be used as directed.
Any air stream used to clean or blow off ESD sensitive items shall be ionized and static
neutral and must be checked for static generation with an Electrostatic Test sensor.
When loading or unloading conductive totes and containers, all personnel must be properly
grounded.
Care should be taken to avoid damaging the insulation tape on the adapter. Do not cut, tear,
pierce or remove the insulation tape.
