Using Cards

2 Slide the adapter into the card slot until the adapter is completely seated

in its connector.
If you encounter too much resistance, do not force the adapter. Check the

ExpressCard and adapter orientation and try again.

The computer recognizes most cards 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 card.

Removing a Card or Blank

CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the

safety instructions in your

Product Information Guide.

NOTICE:

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. Do not attempt to eject a card by

pulling its cable, if one is attached.

Press the release latch and remove the card or blank. For some release latches,

you must press the latch twice: once to pop the latch out, and then a second

time to pop the card out.
Save a blank to use when no PC Card is installed in a slot. Blanks protect

unused slots from dust and other particles.
