6250 mini-card installation (hardware)

[idata]

Hello, I'm new to this discussion board. Very good stuff out here!

I'm having a problem finding good, specific instructions for installing a Centrino 6250 mini-card into a Dell M4600.

Dell's manual has some quick instructions and a photo, but it is only showing the two-wire configuration (black and white only) and never mentions the gray wire that is capped off inside the Dell computer.

I'm also having problems finding a good hardware installation guide on Intel's website. There are tons of manuals and instructions on driver configuration, but not a lot of hardware instruction.

Can someone on this board point me in the direction of a hardware installation guide describing or showing the wiring of this mini network card into a laptop?

Black, White, and Gray wire placement? It seems like it should be obvious, but I need some confirmation.

Kind regards, and thanks in advance for your help!
