To Insert A Pc Card - HP OmniBook 800 - Notebook PC User Manual

The OmniBook PC card slots are available for plug-in PC cards that store
data and expand the "communication" capabilities of the OmniBook. The
OmniBook supports two kinds of plug-in PC cards:
Data storage cards—cards that function as disks for storing data (and
therefore usually called "disks," rather than "cards"). The upper and
lower card slots support data storage cards—they're typically called
drives D and E.
Input/Output (I/O) cards—cards that typically provide external
connections, such as modems and network cards. The upper and lower
card slots support I/O cards.
Caution
Do not install Card Services or Socket Services software if it comes
with your PC card. The OmniBook includes Card Services and Socket
Services, which automatically notice and adapt to PC cards you install
in the upper and lower card slots. Different versions of this software
will disrupt this support.
This section shows how to

To insert a PC card

The OmniBook card slots support the PC Card Standard, type II and III
cards. The computer automatically detects and sets up a PC card when you
insert it in a card slot.
Hint
The upper card slot is the most convenient for a plug-in card that you want
to remove easily or often.
The lower card slot is better for a plug-in card that you don't want to remove
accidentally. If the card has an external connection, make sure it's
accessible through the cutout in the tray.
To insert a card in the upper slot
Hold the card with its face up and its connector holes toward the card
slot, then slide it into the slot until it won't go any further. The card
should be about flush with the case.
