Does your laptop support Type IIIa or Type IIIb mini PCI cards?
Your spec sheet for your laptop should mention the type of miniPCI slot you have. • Type IIIa: 2511 MP PLUS, 5354 MP PLUS ARIES2 4G, DCMA-82 / CM-11HP miniPCI cards, • Type IIIb: 5004 MP ARIES 4G / CM9, EMP-8601, EMP-8602, WLM54G miniPCI cards. The difference between Type IIIA and IIIB cards is: Type IIIA is slightly larger than Type IIIB, so any Type IIIB card should bit into a Type IIIA slot. Here are the dimensions: Type IIIA is 50.8 x 59.6 x 4.9mm Type IIIB is 44.45 x 59.6 x 4.
