Using Cards

71

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

CAUTION:

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

safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

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.

Press the release 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.

Save a blank to use when no ExpressCard is installed in a slot. Blanks protect
unused slots from dust and other particles.
