Installation
1. Line up and insert the Mini PCI Express card into the Mini PCI Express slot on the
system board. Make sure to match up the gap in the card edge connector, with the
notch in the slot.
2. Securely fasten the card to the motherboard using the included screws.
NOTE: Different systems may have different methods for installing Mini Cards, so
please refer to documentation for your system/board for more specific installation
instructions for your particular application.
3. Attach the USB head cable to the Mini PCI Express card.
4. Locate an open expansion card bay (i.e. PCI, PCI Express, etc) and remove the metal
cover plate on the rear of the system case/chassis.
5. If additional power is required, you can either connect an SP4 cable from the system
power supply directly to the card, or connect the included SP4 to LP4 adapter
cable to the Mini Card, and then to an LP4 connector from the system power
supply. Please ensure the power selection jumper has been placed over pins 1,2 as
indicated in the chart above.
6. Place the expansion card bracket from the Mini Card in the opening and fasten the
card’s bracket to the rear of the case.
NOTE: If the system case/chassis only supports full profile brackets, replacing the
pre-installed low profile bracket with the included full profile installation bracket
may be necessary.
Driver Installation

on the CD/DVD drive.
3. Enter the folder “USB 3.0 Host”, then “NEC” and double-click the file “Setup.exe”.
