Make sure the mini PCIe power configuration is configured as described in the [Mini PCIe Power Breakout Header](#mini-pcie-power-breakout-header-j9) section. The Portenta X8 requires the **PCIE Enable (GPIO5)** pin to be connected to a **VCC (3V3)** pin. This is a mandatory power setup for proper system operation.
