The PC Card Slot

The PC card slot can be used as an interface between your computer and a variety of communications

devices, such as network adapters, SCSI adapters, and fax/modems. They can also be used to provide

additional data storage capacity. Your computer’s PC Card slot supports Type I, II or III PC Cards, 32-

bit CardBus cards, and Zoomed Video cards.

Installing a Card

1. The top side of a PC Card is usually identified with a label. Insert the card into the slot with the

top up and the edge with pinhole contacts going in first. You will feel some resistance as the card

slides into the back of the slot.

2. PC Cards require drivers, or a program that allows 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.

NOTE

Please read the instructions included with individual PC Cards. Some cards may be inserted

with power on, while others require that the computer be turned off.

Removing a PC Card

1. If a PC Card is in use, you must shut down the PC Card before removing it.

2. Select the PC Card icon on the right side of the Windows tray taskbar , then tap Stop.

3. When the Windows message appears, telling you that it is safe to remove the card, tap OK.

4. Press the eject button on the PC Card slot to release the eject button (it is spring loaded and

remains hidden until it is pressed).

5. Press the eject button again to release the PC Card.
