adapters, SCSI adapters, fax/modems, or provide additional data

Installing a Card

The top side of a PC card is
usually identified with a label.
Insert the card into the slot with
the label side up and the edge
with pinhole contacts going in
first.

9.

Insert the card into the slot. You
will feel some resistance as the
card slides into the back of the
slot.

10. PC cards require drivers, or a program that allows the operating

system to use a specific device. Many drivers are included with
Windows, but if not, you will be prompted to install the driver
included with your card.

11. The computer will beep twice to indicate successful installation. A

single beep means that there was a problem recognizing the card.

Note: Please read the instructions included with individual PC cards.
Some cards may be inserted with power on, while others require that
the computer be turned off.
