Installing a PC Card or ExpressCard

You can install a PC Card in the computer while the computer is running. The computer automatically detects
the card.
PC Cards 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.
To install a 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.
