Step 1: Insert the DFE-680TXD
Under the PC Card standard and the corresponding Japanese JEIDA standard, PC Cards
may safely be "hot swapped"
––
it is not necessary to switch the computer's power off
before installing or removing the DFE-680TXD, or any other PC Card.
Find/select an open Type II or Type III PC Card slot on your notebook computer's side or
rear panel. Hold the DFE-680TXD with the colorful D-Link splash label upward. Insert
the front end of the PC Card into the CardBus slot, and slide the PC Card all the way into
the slot until it reaches a firm stop.
NOTE: Many notebook PCs feature a stacked pair of PC Card slots, logically (but not
physically) designated as Slot 1 and Slot 2.
It is most usual for the lower one of the two slots in the stack to be designated Slot 1, but
there are exceptions. In the subsequent procedure for DFE-680TXD software installation,
it might be useful for you to know whether your DFE-680TXD is installed in Slot 1 or
Slot 2. Under Windows 95, you can check by opening the Control Panel / PC Card
display. Under DOS it is also possible to make a software check, but it is more difficult.
If it develops that you need to make a trial-and-error determination or correction, then it
is easy to do: just reinstall the DFE-680TXD in another slot.
