2.a. Installation and r emoval

1. Power down the laptop.

2. Remove the Express Card x4 cable adapter from the protective bag, observing proper ESD safety procedures.

2.b. Installing your ExpressCard cable adapter:

1. Remove the plastic filler plate (if installed) from the ExpressCard slot and guide the card into the desired slot following the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Attach the cable by first pulling back on the retractor ring, Align the dyed slot with the connector key ridge on the slot cover.

Insert the cable connector into the connector shell on the board until the connector teeth snap securely into the holes in the cable shell.

3. The connectors on either end of the PCIe x4 cable are identical. Each connector is equipped with a retractor to allow the connector to be locked into place.
