Installing a PC Card

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.
1 latch
2 card
2. Slide the card into the slot until the card is completely seated in its connector.
NOTE: For a 34-mm ExpressCard, insert the card into the adapter first, then 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.
The computer recognizes most cards and automatically loads the appropriate device driver. If the configuration program tells you to load the manufacturer's
drivers, use the floppy disk or CD that came with the PC Card.
