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, fax/modems, or they can be used to provide additional

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

cards, and Zoomed Video cards. Type III PC Cards require an extender card.

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.

3. In Windows 98, the computer will beep twice to indicate successful installation. A single beep

means that there was a problem recognizing the card. There is no beep with other versions of

Windows software .

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. Click the PC Card icon on the right side of the Windows tray taskbar , then click Stop.

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