4. Using the i-Drive
4.1 Inserting a PC Card
After installing the altec i-Drive and starting the computer, you should see two remo-
vable drives which correspond to the two PC Card slots in the drive. You can use two
Type I or Type II PC Cards simultaneously. Alternatively, you can use a single Type III PC
Card in the lower slot.
A small marker (arrow or triangle) on the label of the
PC Card shows which end to
insert in the drive (the label with the arrow or triangle is attached to the top side of
the card)
. The i-Drive recognizes the storage media type and the memory capacity
automatically.
Analogously to diskette drives, you must only insert or remove PC Cards when the red
LED on the front panel of the drive is not lit.The LED lights up after inserting a PC Card
until initialization is finished and also when data on the PC Card is being accessed.
4.2 Removing a PC Card
Press the respective eject button to remove the PC Card from the slot. Press the left
eject button for the top slot and/or the right eject button for the bottom slot. Make
sure that the red LED on the front panel of the drive is not lit when you remove the
PC Card.
