Inserting a PC Card

The computer does not need to be turned off or placed in Standby
(Suspend) when inserting a PC Card.
To insert a PC Card, follow these steps:
1. Insert the PC Card, label side up, and gently push the card into one
of the available slots. Forcing a card into the slot can damage the
connector pins.
IMPORTANT: A Type III card fits only in the bottom slot, slot 1.
2. In most cases, the computer automatically configures the card. For
example, a modem PC Card is configured to a COM port, or a hard
disk PC Card is assigned a drive letter. If the computer is turned off
or in Standby (Suspend), the card will not be configured until the
computer is turned back on.
3. When the card is inserted, a popup displays configuration
information and options. The computer then beeps (low-high
tone) to indicate that the card is configured and ready for use.
Each subsequent time that card is inserted, you will hear beeps
and see a popup, indicating that the card has configured.
