Using Workgroups PC Card Support
Windows for Workgroups also offers configuring and troubleshooting support for PC Cards. To
access support open the CardWizard application located in the main Windows directory. The PC
Card drivers available in Windows for Workgroups are not as extensive as the number of drivers
in Windows 95.
Windows NT
In order to use a PC Card under the Windows NT operating environment, that card’s driver must
be written specifically to run under Win NT. Please refer to your PC Card’s documentation for
more details.
Inserting and Ejecting PC Cards
Many PC Cards available today are plug-and-play devices, i.e. they can be inserted into the PC
Card expansion sockets while the computer is powered on. Refer to the documentation that came
with your PC Card for detailed information on PC Card configuring and operation.
Insert a PC Card as follows. (Figure 5-1)
1. If your PC Card or operating system does not support hot-plugging, save your
data and turn off the notebook before inserting the PC Card.
2. Hold the PC Card with the connector side toward the socket.
3. Align the card connectors with the appropriate socket and carefully slide the
card into the socket until it locks into place.
