Inserting and Ejecting PCMCIA Cards
PC Cards are inserted and ejected in much the same way as floppy disks. The upper
and lower slots both accept Type II cards. Therefore, you can insert up to two Type
II cards at the same time. For Type III card, use the lower slot. When a Type III card
is inserted, the upper slot cannot be used.
Note that some PCMCIA memory cards must be formatted before you can use them
for data storage; see your PCMCIA card manual for details.
1.
Open the PCMCIA card compartment cover on the right side of the notebook.
(You do not have to power off the notebook to handle PCMCIA cards when
using Windows 95.)
2.
Align the card with the appropriate slot and slide the card into the slot until it
locks into place. The top of the card is identified by the manufacturer's label.
The upper slot is identified as Socket 2, and the lower slot is identified as
Socket 1.
