82 Using Cards
Card Blanks
Your computer shipped with a plastic blank installed in the card slots. Blanks
protect unused slots from dust and other particles. Save the blank for use when
no card is installed in the slots; blanks from other computers may not fit your
computer.
To remove a blank, see "Removing a Card or Blank" on page 84.
Extended Cards
An extended PC Card (for example, a wireless network adapter) is longer than a
standard PC Card and extends outside the computer. Follow these precautions
when using extended PC Cards:
• Protect the exposed end of an installed card. Striking the end of the card
can damage the system board.
• Always remove an extended PC Card before you pack the computer in its
carrying case.
Installing a PC Card or ExpressCard
You can install a PC Card or ExpressCard in the computer while the computer is
running. The computer automatically detects the card.
PC Cards and ExpressCards 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.
