Installing the PC Card

Insert the PC Card into the PC Card slot.
After inserting the PC Card, if auto-start is enabled and nothing happens within
five seconds, reboot your computer and log in to Windows 2000. The installation
process will begin when the computer restarts.

Respond to the prompts as they appear.
During the installation process, you may receive prompts for the Windows 2000

the card or shutting off your computer while diagnostics were running.
