The Express Card Slot

The express card slot can be used as an interface between your
computer and a variety of communications devices, such as network
adapters, SCSI adapters, fax/modems, or provide additional data
storage capacity.

Installing a Card

1. The top side of a express 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.

2. Insert the card into the slot. You

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

3. Express 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.

4. The computer will beep twice to indicate successful installation.

Slide the card into the slot.

Push the button to eject the card.

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

Removing a Card

• Press again to release the card.
