Using Cards

Installing a PC Card

You can install a PC Card in the computer while the computer is running. The computer automatically

detects the card.
PC Cards are generally marked with a symbol (such as a triangle or an arrow) to indicate which end to

insert into the slot. The cards are keyed to prevent incorrect insertion. If card orientation is not clear, see

the documentation that came with the card.

CAUTION:

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

Product

Information Guide.

PC Card

1 Hold the card with its orientation symbol pointing into the slot and 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 most PC 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 PC Card.
