broadband and storage modules) whereas the 30mm M.2 slot provides only PCIe and
USB signals (for common Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules).
2. To switch between PCIe and SATA signals for the 42mm M.2 slot, refer to Jumper
Settings below.
To install both 42mm and 30mm M.2 cards:
1. Align the notch at the edge of the 30mm M.2 card with the key in the
connector.
2. Insert the 30mm M.2 card into the connector.
3. Push down on the other end of the card and place the plastic spacer on top of
the card.
4. Insert the 42mm M.2 card into the connector.
5. Push down on the other end of the card and use the provided mounting screw

and underneath the system board to reach the antenna holes.
The system board is equipped with 1 Mini PCIe slot.
1. Grasp the Mini PCIe card by its edges and align the notch of the PCIe card
with the key in the connector on the system board.
2. Push down on the other end of the Mini PCIe card and use the provided
mounting screw to secure the card on the system board.
