Hi, I have a TP01-1005ns with a Baker Motherboard.
I recently purchased a wifi pci-e card with bluetooth but cannot connect the cable to the F_USB port in the motherboard
Cannot find any F_USB port in the mother board. So bluetooth cannot be configured.
Card is connected via PCI-e and wifi works well.
So does the Baker motherboard have this type of connection?
Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thanks @Bill_To
While replacing the CPU cooler I broke one of the M2 card's cable.
I didn't manage to fix it, I'd have to solder the cable to the connector, I guess
So I purchased the wireless pci-e card.
I don't use bluetooth in my PC, so it's not a problem. Just wondered why I couldn't find the F_USB port.
Best regards

Welcome to the HP Forum.
Your MB has integrated front USB. I don't believe this MB has a USB 2.0 header.
I don't think you can do Bluetooth using the PCIe add-in card without a MB USB 2.0 header.
But your MB supports M.2 combo WIFI/Bluetooth cards.
Why are you doing a WIFI/Bluetooth PCIe card?
