The Express Card Slot
The express card slot can be used as an interface between your
computer and a variety of communications devices, such as network
adapters, SCSI adapters, fax/modems, or provide additional data
storage capacity.
Installing a Card
1. The top side of a express card is
usually identified with a label.
Insert the card into the slot with
the label side up and the edge
with pinhole contacts going in
first.
2. Insert the card into the slot. You
will feel some resistance as the
card slides into the back of the

operating system to use a specific device. Many drivers are
included with Windows, but if not, you will be prompted to install
the driver included with your card.

require that the computer be turned off.
