2.2.2   Istructions  for Installation

1.  Turn off the PC and all peripherals.
2.  Remove the cover.

3.  Attach the ribbon cable to the drive unit.  The ribbon is keyed,     

                 therefore, there is only one possible way to insert the plugs into  
                 the sockets.

4.  Install the  PCD2-F  into an unused 3.5" drive bay using the four 

     mounting screws.  The optional  PCD2 adapter will be required 

     installation in a 5.25" drive bay.  Follow the instructions on  the 
     drive bay adapter for installation in the 5.25" drive bay.
5.  Attach the ribbon cable to the drive unit's  ISA bus interface card.  

     Again, the ribbon cable is keyed for proper insertion.

6.  Find an empty  ISA/AT  (16-bit) bus slot for the card and remove  
     the empty card socket plate from the PC and retain the fastening 
     screw. 

7.  Insert the card into the empty slot, being careful to line up the 

     tabs with the sockets.
8.  Fasten the card in place with the screw from step seven (7).

The hardware installation is now complete.

3.1  SOFTWARE  INSTALLATION

The PCD2-F  card drive includes a DOS  PCMCIA card and socket

services library called  Cardsoft,  from Systemsoft .  The  PCD2-F  also comes
with Cardview,  a PCMCIA control and maintenance  utility for Microsoft
Windows.  PC Cards can easily be configured while in Microsoft
Windows since the  PCD2-F  works side by side with  Cardsoft.   Windows
95 does not require  Cardsoft  or Cardview.

Note: be sure to complete the hardware installation instructions of your
PCD2-F  before proceeding with the software installation.
