See your ExpressCard manual for instructions on the installation of your card. Some cards may require
that your notebook is off while installing them. To install an ExpressCard, follow these steps:
1
Make sure there is no ExpressCard currently in the slot. If there is, see Removing ExpressCards.
2
Insert your ExpressCard into the slot with the product label facing up. If you are inserting a 34 mm card, be sure
to align it with the left side of the slot when inserting it.
3
Push the card firmly into the slot until it is seated in the connector.
Removing ExpressCards
See your ExpressCard manual for specific instructions on removing your card; some cards may require
your notebook to be in Sleep Mode or Off during removal.
To remove an ExpressCard, press the card into the slot. This will cause the card to be ejected slightly out
of the slot allowing you to remove the card.
