Using ExpressCards
CAUTION:
Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product
Information Guide.
To install an ExpressCard:
1 Hold the card with the top side of the card facing up. The latch may need to be in the "in" position
before you insert the card.
2 Slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its connector.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the card. Check the card orientation and try again.
The computer recognizes the ExpressCard and automatically loads the appropriate device driver. If the
configuration program tells you to load the manufacturer's drivers, use the floppy disk or CD that came
with the ExpressCard.
Removing an ExpressCard or Blank
NOTICE:
Use the ExpressCard configuration utility (click the icon in the taskbar) to select a card and stop it
from functioning before you remove it from the computer. If you do not stop the card in the configuration utility, you
could lose data.
CAUTION:
Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product
Information Guide.
Press the latch and remove the card or blank. For some latches, you must press the latch twice: once to
pop the latch out, and then a second time to pop the card out.
