4.2.4 PCIe Mini Card
The PCI Express Mini Card add-in card is a small size unique form factor optimized for
mobile computing platforms equipped with communication applications such as
Wireless LAN. A small footprint connector can be implemented on the carrier board
providing the ability to insert different removable PCI Express Mini Cards. Using this
approach gives the flexibility to mount an upgradeable, standardized PCI Express Mini
Card device to the carrier board without additional expenditure of a redesign. In
addition to a PCI Express x1 link and a USB 2.0 link, the PCI Express Mini Card
interface utilizes the following control and reset signals, which are provided by the
COM Express module connector rows A and B.
