The PC Card Slot
The PC card slot can be used as an interface between your computer and a variety of communications devices, such
as network adapters, SCSI adapters, fax/modems, or they can be used to provide additional data storage capacity.
Your computer’s PC Card slot supports Type I, II or III PC Cards, 32-bit CardBus cards, and Zoomed Video cards.
Installing a Card
1 The top side of a PC Card is usually identified with a label. Insert the card into the slot with the top up and the
edge with pinhole contacts going in first. You will feel some resistance as the card slides into the back of the slot.
2 PC Cards require drivers, or a program that allows the operating system to use a specific device. Many drivers are
included with Windows, but if not, you will be prompted to install the driver included with your card.
3 The computer will beep twice to indicate successful installation. A single beep means that there was a problem
recognizing the card.
NOTE Please read the instructions included with individual PC Cards. Some cards may be inserted with power on,
while others require that the computer be turned off.
Removing a PC Card
1 If a PC Card is in use, you must shut down the PC Card before removing it.
2 Click the PC Card icon on the right side of the taskbar, then click Stop.
3 Press the eject button on the PC Card slot to release the button.
4 Press again to release the PC Card.
