Print PageFlip the Galileo over to find the one highlight on the bottom side of the board: the mini PCIe
(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) socket. This socket is most useful for attaching
WiFi cards to give your Galileo easy, wireless network access.

Powering the Galileo
The Galileo can (supposedly) be powered via USB (on the Client port), but Intel recommends
against that. Instead, the board should be powered through the barrel jack, using a regulated 5V
DC power supply.
The Galileo includes a "universal" wall adapter, which should work for just about anyone. If you're
using your own supply, make sure it can supply up to 3A. And remember that 5V is the max and
min on that supply input. Don't throw a 9V or 12V wall adapter on there and expect the magic smoke
to stay inside.
