T430s - 2x mPCIe?
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2016 11:34 am
Hi folks
My T430s came with a WLAN and a WWAN card in mPCIe slots and both had their separate antennae connected.
I acquired a mPCIe based eGPU solution and my initial install was in the WWAN port but it didn't seem to work. Eventually I tried it in the WLAN slot and it worked, and I switched the WLAN card into the old WWAN port and connected up the WLAN antenna.
My question is - are both mPCIe ports the same? I seen a post once that suggested that some ports are mPCIe connectors but they aren't PCIe, they use a USB bus and I'm thinking maybe my WWAN port is like this.
Can I test it somehow? Or is there something special I need to do to get the WLAN card working in the WWAN port?
Thanks!
