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 computers PC Card slot supports Type I, or II PC Cards, 32-bit
CardBus cards, and Zoomed Video cards. Type III PC Cards require an optional 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.
