computer there are two Type 11 slots, into which you can also insert one Type III card. They are
in a compartment covered by an access door. The door swings open by gently pressing on the
front-left corner of the computer and pushing the door to the side and back.
PC Cards slide into the slots from the side. When you insert a card into a slot, an eject button,
which is at the front side of the compartment opening, will pop out. To eject a card, press the
button in again and the card will come out enough for you to pull it out of the slot. A Type III
card is twice the height of a Type 11 card, so it occupies both slots. However, you can only insert
it in the bottom slot, so the bottom eject button will pop out. You can use both Type I and Type
11 cards individually in the slots. Cards insert face up.
The PC Card compartment door is removable to allow for oversized cards, or cards with special
connectors needing extra room outside the computer. The door hinge is a flexible pressure fitting
with nubs at the top and bottom that fit into corresponding receptacles in the housing. To remove
the door, open it all the way, until you feel some resistance, then twist the door slightly to the
right to pop it out. To reinstall the door, insert the hinge end at the same angle you removed it
and pop it into place. The nubs must snap into their receptacles, and you may need to squeeze the
pressure fitting slightly to retract a nub in order to get the door to snap into place.
To use PC Cards in Windows '95, just insert the card. If the system needs to be reconfigured to
use the card, a message will appear informing you of this. Follow the instructions displayed to do
this. You only have to do this once, after which the system will be set up to use that card from
then on.
