Critical Point
Before using a PC card, you might need to turn off your computer or to install the device
driver, depending on the type of PC card used.
When your computer is loaded with two PC cards, it should be powered from the AC adapter
to prevent the deterioration of the internal battery pack.
1.
Install a PC card.
Insert the PC card as far as it will go with the labeled face up.
2.
If necessary, install the driver before inserting the card for the first time.
Some PC cards require no driver to be installed. If necessary, however, install the driver for your
PC card according to the instructions in its manual.
To install a driver, you might need a CD or floppy disk that contains it.
